The snake was found eating the eggs of a frog above a medium, swift-flowing stream ( Figure 3). Upon our arrival to the feeding event, the snake was startled and began to flee. Based on their appearance being identical to the eggs we observed laid by a female  Spinomantis peraccaein the same stream several nights prior, we ascribe the clutch to that species. 2013-12-13 During & Valohoaka 1160 -21.3165 Ranomafana National Park 7 47.4296 6 2502 1
