A north Queensland snake catcher says seeing a green tree frog devour a highly venomous snake was a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”.
Jamie Chapel was called out to a Townsville property on Tuesday night to catch the coastal taipan, considered one of Australia’s deadliest species.
He was halfway there when the client told him a frog was eating the snake.
When he arrived at the property, the “quite large” frog had eaten all but the head of the 20-25cm taipan.
