Snake: Dendrelaphis caudolineatus; Skink: Eutropis multicarinata
A snake feeding on a frog and a skink watching and maybe trying to partake the food. I spotted them under the Dona Aurora plant. Photos taken at 12:17pm.

I added photos of the snake and the skink.:)
Thank you, harsuame! Yes, the frog/prey is an amphibian but since it would be hard, if not impossible, to ID the frog, I just listed this under reptiles (pertaining to the snake and skink on the photo). :)
Fantástico:: en la segunda imagen excelente, se percibe otro reptil; osea serian dos mas el anfibio que es la comida.
Thank you, Karen. I just updated the common & scientific name fields.:)
Great spot Veronica!
As you know the species please update the common & scientific names so we can take this off of the unidentified list. As both the snake & the skink are in the same category (reptiles), you can include the common & scientific names for both species in the same spotting.
Thank you for that suggestion, Jellis. I will edit my posting in a bit.:) I was told that the snake is a striped-bronzeback (Dendeolaphis caudolineatus) and that the skink is a Many-keeled Mabuya (Eutropis multicarinata).
So which reptile do you want IDd? I like the group shot but you and also separate them to two separate spottings if you want them IDd. And leave one of the spottings with the group shot.
Great catch on that 2nd picture.
Lovely and sad because I love snakes and frogs.. : ) : (
But that is the law of nature.
