Do black snakes kill other snakes?

Answer 1

Black rat snakes will rattle their tails to simulate a rattlesnake and will strike if provoked far enough. If the snake happens to be on dry leaves, it will sound just like a rattlesnake. The gopher snake also will use this behavior when threatened.

Answer 2

Depends on the kind of snake. Some black snakes eat other snakes, some dont. For example, the Mexican Black Kingsnake can/sometimes will eat other snakes. On the other hand, the Black Ratsnake does not eat other snakes, i believe. It helps if you are more specific as to what kind of "black" snake(s) you are talking about. There are just too many kinds of black snakes to make this question easy to answer.

Rat snakes in general are not snake eaters, feeding mostly on birds and rodents but will eat other snakes on ocasion, while Kingsnakes are well known snake eaters as is the Indigo and the venomous Coral snake.

Answer 3

Probably. Most snakes eat other snakes. If you mean a black rat snake, then yes, but it is a constrictor. It has no fangs.

Answer 4

Black Racers eat other snakes. So it is possible.

Answer 5

Rattlesnakes consume mice, rats, small birds and other small animals such as lizards but usually do not eat other snakes.

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7
