No - Snakes prefer to eat what they kill - whether that's in their natural habitat, or in captivity.

Captive snakes will take dead food, by 'conditioning' the snake to think it's just killed the animal being offered as food.

No - snakes do not scavenge 'road kill' or other dead animals. Normally - they wouldn't eat anything they've not killed themselves - HOWEVER - In captivity, they are 'conditioned' to accept food offered by a keeper.
