I keep grass frogs for catfish bait. Keep a pan of water in it, keep it in the shade, leave a light inside all night to attract bugs and they will live all summer. Small frogs get bigger. Snake crawled in and ate one. Can't get out now.

I had a black rat snake do that years ago. It ate 3 young chukars from a nest box. I caught it and put it into a coon size cage trap. It looked like it was a triple link of sausage.

No way it could get out of that coon size trap as large as it was expanded with those chukars, as its girth was way larger then the 1" grid size on that trap.

I figured I was good for a few days holding that snake. I wanted to get a few photos for documentation. I went to get my camera.

That rat snake must have realized it couldnt fit thru the wire grid being all pigged out like it was. So it started to reguritate those chukars. When I came back to get a few photos it was just throwing up the last chukar and racing to get out that wire, and it did. This all happened in just a few minutes.
