That toad was perfect eating size for that snake. I've seen them eat far bigger. I love toads every bit as much as I love snakes. But toads can go through some real population bursts, especially upstate, and garters are one of their few predators. In the long run, the snakes predation does the toad's population a favor by keeping them controlled. And I'd rather have the toads end up as snake food than crushed under wheel and foot....something I've seen too much of.
