Non-native species affect an ecosystem because they are organisms that are living outside of their natural range. This non-native species is a lot like pollution. It can harm or destroy native species because they compete or hunt for their food and water. Hope this helps!! :)
Different snakes have different dietary requirements, so ratsnakes would not compete with animals which do not eat rats. Some snakes eat insects, and some eat other snakes. Some snakes eat eggs. Depending on their diet, snakes compete with certain birds, mammals, amphibians, and other reptiles, and sea snakes compete with fish and other sea creatures which eat the same prey as they do.
