I told my neighbor I was thought it was probably hunting for geckos. There is a light next to where it was perched where the geckos congregate to hunt for bugs. All I gotta say, is that it’s one smart snake. Not two seconds after I said what I was thinking, a gecko ran from the top of the railing down to the light and in the blink of an eye . . . it was securely in the clutches of our new little friend.

The snake originally grabbed the gecko by the side, then it inched it’s mouth around to the head and gulped it down. You can see the gecko is still trying to hang on with one of it’s back legs.

Mmm . . . all done! Certainly not something you see every day. (I seem to be experiencing a lot of that lately.)
