I was searching for legless lizards but unfortunately didn't find any but I did come across this little whip snake eating a marbled gecko and I got some quick shots. Fortunately it didn't drop.

Was a good day!
 
Great shots! Thanks for sharing.
Am I assuming correctly that it had already caught its prey when you came upon it?

Yeah we did. We found a few whips, this one was like this under tin, rare find.
I accidentally pulled the tail off while trying to pose the snake but he got it down with ease.

Yeah I was real lucky as soon as I lifted this piece of tin a marbled gecko got startled and ran right in front of the little whip that was also under the tin and he must of been hungry lol.
