Great. It's unbelievable that they can swallow such huge prey.

Fantastic capture series! Snakes can dislocate their jaws to swallow whole their prey.

This whole process took about half an hour. I did not think a snake that size in diameter would be able to consume a frog that size.
Fantastic set of images!!!! John

I'm told it is a Garter snake
The coloring and patterns do look like a coast garter snake.

We have a "Butler's Garter Snake" like this that lives in our yard that's been here a few years now. They help keep the rodents and insects under control so it is welcome to live here.

Ran across this same thing on a creek in the Missouri Ozarks many years ago. The frog was making a lot of noise and this went on for over an hour before the snake got it down and the noise stopped.
