A Snake with a Mouth Full

Posted By August R. Orlandi

Was lucky to get this one. Taken at Merritt Island on my recent trip to Fl.and the WSP.
I have no idea of what kind of snake this is or the frog.
I don't believe its a venomous snake because it had this frog in it mouth for about 30 minutes or better and the frog was still alive.
2 shots of it,one is the full frame and the other is cropped and lighten a little
