Eating the venom is not a problem . . . the trouble starts when the venom enters the bloodstream via a snake bite.
a python. they must choke their prey because their venom is not poisonous or they have no venom
Because the poisen will be in the blood of the meat
Injecting venom into its prey.
With venom. It has a venomous bite.
One word: Venom
A bull snake eats a rattlesnake by overpowering it with its size and strength, then swallowing it whole. The bull snake is immune to the rattlesnake's venom, allowing it to safely consume its prey.
zoosuccivore means they feed on liquid animal secretions of decaying animal matter. This is because in most cases, the snakes venom is injected into the prey, which begins the digestion process of the prey from the inside out, such as a snake that injects venom :)
the venom in the snakes helps to make it's prey die easily.
Simply because they are immune ! Their body 'recognises' the venom as being their own, and thus it does not harm the snake. However - if it were to eat prey envenomated by a different snake - it would have a reaction against the 'foreign' toxins
venom to kill prey
No, venomous snakes do not track their prey by smelling the venom they inject. Snakes use their sense of smell to locate prey, and once they bite and inject venom, the venom works to immobilize or kill the prey. Venom can also aid in digestion once the prey is consumed.
well, the glands in the snake produce the venom, which goes to its saliva, then, it spits it out to its prey OR predators.
