From memory...the only snake that actively seeks out cane toads as a food source, and that is able to tolerate the poison is the keelback.

Your right Paul the Keelback is the only snake that can eat them, but only the baby ones.

A king brown got stuck in my fence with a similar cause a while back, the sound of a frog getting got by a snake is a pretty distinctive sound at night :)
Nice photo.

Never under estimate the strength of a cornered coward.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
