The one that didn't get away...

While I was out making my rounds tonight, I stopped to inspect some new seedlings that appeared to be a midnight snack for a snail/slug.  I started scanning the area in hopes of finding the culprit when I noticed the tail of a snake protruding from a flat of plants.  It caught me off guard so I sort of jumped back, caught my breath, and grabbed my camera.  I thought it was sort of strange that the snake was not paying any attention to me and appeared to be focused on something else.  When I gazed into the viewfinder I found out why...it was focused on dinner, a nice plump chameleon.

Before I could react and try to save my friend, the snake had grabbed him and started its death roll.

Sixty seconds later he had a mouthful. 

Now where was this guy when I needed him, like right after I spotted that Cuban Tree Frog?
