Best Answer

As with adult snakes the diet of a baby snake depends on its size and species. Most snakes are not particular about their prey and most animals of suitable size will do, though some species do specialize. The young of smaller species such as, rat snakes and water snakes, often prey on insects and other invertebrates as well as occasional small fish and amphibians depending on what is available. Some larger species such as the larger boas and pythons can start on small mammals and birds. The young of some vipers specialize in eating amphibians and even have venom specially formulated for amphibian physiology.
