Does a snake usually bite the head of its prey to kill it instantly?

its easy for snakes to crush all the prey's bones first then gobble them up
EDIT: The reason snakes swallow their prey head first - is that the limbs of the 'victim' fold flat against the body - making it easier to swallow. (Snakester1962)

I belive snake eat prey head first to stop its prey from breathing and if it crushes its head the rest off the body systems stop working allowing the snake to swallow its prey without it fighting back.
