Snakes and Horny Toads

WARNING-IMAGE OF FOOD CHAIN IN PROGRESS!
This is a sidewinder rattlesnake we found in Yuma yesterday. I think it is a horny toad he is eating. It seems too wide for a lizard. He was really upset that we were spoiling his lunch! I have never seen one in the wild before. It was really neat. We let him eat his lunch then found him again on our way back. You can kind of see the bulge in his stomach.
We scared him and he was getting as far away as possible.

This is him getting really angry at us. You can see the rattle just going to town!
