Fish-Eating Snake

This snake was caught red-handed snacking on several goldfish. When goldfish started missing from a pond, the owner though it was just a heron that was in the neighborhood, but he got quite a surprise when he found an actual garden snake eating a whole goldfish!

The snake jumped in the pond, picked up a goldfish three times its size in its mouth and carried it right back out on the deck. He then proceeded to coil around it and swallow it. Apparently, he got tired of it quick because he spit it out as soon as he had it in its mouth!
