(2) How do snakes eat their food ?
Answers
Explanation:
Poisonous or venomous snakes inject poison or venom into their prey. This starts the digestive process even before the snake swallows that food. Snakes tend to eat rats, birds and their eggs, mice, chipmunks, frogs, gophers, and other small rodents. Some species will even consume insects or earthworms.
Explanation:
Snakes are carnivorous. That means that they eat other animals. Snakes do not have the right kind of teeth to chew their food so they must eat their catch whole. Their jaw is structured in such a way that it allows the mouth to open wider than their own body in order to swallow their prey whole.Refusing to eat is a signal that your snake is stressed.

If your snake has just been brought to his new home and is not eating, there are very high chances that your snake is refusing food due to the stress of moving.Scientist Kenneth Kardong, writing in Copeia, explains that snake swallowing is all about the jaw. ...
