in the UK it is illegal to feed snakes live prey but people do !! if you have a larger snake and do feed it live prey some will constrict until the prey is dead but other will eat it alive and it will still be chirping or making a noise as it passes down the snakes body until it suffocates !you can view snakes eating live prey (rabbits ,birds ,chickens) on YouTube

No. Some snakes are too small to eat mice, and go after insects, amphibians, or fish.

Sea snakes feed primarily on fish and one genus of snakes feeds entirely on egg. Snakes that do eat rats and mice do not limit themselves to such prey, and will also eat lizards, birds, and even other snakes.
