What can I say but, a fabulous post Lady Joan.
And a lucky bloukoppie in the bargain.
All blessings for the contest!

All great and rare guesses to get a picture like this.

But to be honest I am afraid of snakes but your photography is extraordinary 😍

Wow can that snake open its mouth any wider!! Lovely images. Love the colour contrasts and of course the content speaks for itself!! Nature aylt it's best! You have my vote!

Great photos but to be honest I do not like snakes. I don’t know why. They creep me out. You are brave to take all these animal pictures my friend. 😊

Such a great post I thought the gecko was done for so was surprised to see the snake gave up on the idea and the gecko got to live another day

Seems there is always something to see in your place for sure

I am glad the lizard escaped, I prefer them to snakes so I was cheering for the little guy.

That's funny that the snake spit him out! I had seen pictures of snakes eating mice and such and they just expand there jaw and somehow manage to get it into their body where you'll see it sitting as a big lump in the snake.
I'm happy for the bloukop! Must have been a shock! Did he seem perfectly fine after that (with a bit of recovery time)?
So strange and to have the drama right on your doorstep!

In our area of residence to find snakes is very difficult. I am rarely in the woods (city parks are not considered), and I have never seen snakes once ... although people say that they are exist  here))

Incredible! What a terrific reportage! How lucky the lizard this time.

Hello  @joanstewart 
This are the some of rare photographs..
Awesome click my friend. thanks for share with us..

Yup, survival of the wild, that's how nature works. Thanks for sharing, even though I'm not a great fan of snakes... 😁

Wow! Impressive photos!

It looks like the lizard had some bubbles or something it had emitted on its neck? Maybe it was some kind of poison, and that's why the snake spat it out. I really don't like ANY reptiles or amphibians or spiders whatsoever. I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole! Great pictures by the way.

The snake prolly realized that he my choke to death if he didn’t spit the lizard out. It’s crazy how they can eat things much bigger than themselves.

Oh wow, what a mouthful!  I can appreciate the snake's appetite in that I, too, often have eyes bigger than my mouth. ;)  Kind of glad the lizard made it away this time, but I understand that the cycle of life is a delicate balance in the wild.  Everyone's gotta eat!

Dear Joan,

I live in Australia and, a snake eating another creature is not a new thing. But, I really do not have the heart to look at the pictures.

Nice story though!

Awesome capture Joan! You are certainly the snake photographer!

What a great post. It's awesome to get these shots around your house. Absolutely awesome post. Is this snake not poison, so that the Bluekoppie could survive?

Oh, my goodness!  That was a beautiful snake.  At one time I was terrified of snakes but would never be able to look at a snake or a photo.  Because I was in charge of leading boy scout hikes while doing park hosting, I had to learn not to freak out about the snakes.  I love that I can now look at these photos and appreciate the beauty.

You did a wonderful job with the photos and I really enjoyed your post.  Thanks so much.

Aw poor snake! No food for you lol, well at least not that one. Perhaps he underestimated the size of the poor lizard. It always fascinates me how a snake can have such a big mouth and swallow their prey whole. Even at how their bodies can expand so much for what it eats. Good thing we aren't like that!

Hmmm, maybe the lizard tasted terrible... :)
