Thanks for all the comments on this, not sure what the animal being eaten is.
The pictures are taken in Belize on a turtle grass mud flat.
I am thinking that the food is some sort of worm or eel.
Here is another example, they seem to be plentiful in supply.
Because of the amount of water where you took your shots it sounds more likely that these could be juvenile American eels. A check on google indicates that Burton's legless lizard also occurs in Belize. The little bit I could find indicates they are found in drier areas ground litter (like my back yard) but those in your pictures sure look like the ones we have in Socal.
