Found "buddy" our frog being eaten by a snake!

[SailingMystic]

I'm so sad-- our Buddy was taken by a snake. I got him out of the snakes mouth but his back legs were pretty bad. He died on a wet papertowel- and it seemed like he was in shock. I'm not sure what to do. I took the rocks away from the pond and tried to find the snake but couldn't. I'm worried he's eating all of our tadpole frogs (( help! (I'm armed with tongs and a pitcher)....

I think a garter. A big one. Black head though- white spots due to it being stretched out. Happened so fast!!

Thanks! He's one of the frogs that we raised and ok-- this is goofy, but he swam to me and ate worms out of my hand! I haven't seen his brother tonight either ....

Sorry to hear about your little frog friend!

As a snake lover, I can't help but feel bad for the snake, too, to lose her meal after spending so much time and energy to catch it...

Just sad all around...

Keep in mind it's one of those "build it and they will come" things... Even if you find this snake and safely relocate her to a different area, there's a good chance a different snake(s) will simply take her place in your pond's food chain. "It's the Ciiiiircle of Liiiiiife... And it moooves us aaaaallll..."
