Somehow, these reptiles manage to look both menacing and happy at the same time...this one looked pretty happy at having scored a recent meal, based on some residue still in the teeth!

My goodness, look at him! They always remind me a little of toads, when seen from this angle. Just a mouth on a wide body designed to propel that mouth rapidly to food.
