Well if the snake eats mice then a plentiful supply of mice will mean the snakes are well fed and their numbers will increase. If there are but few mice, the snakes food supply will be inadequate and some may starve, leading to a reduction in the snake numbers.
In the deciduous forest, animals such as owls, hawks, foxes, snakes, and weasels are known to eat mice as part of their diet. These predators play a crucial role in controlling the mouse population within the forest ecosystem.
On what other parts of the ecosystem do snakes depend for food?
Predators of rabbits, to keep the ecosystem in balance. For example, foxes and snakes
If snakes were removed from the food web, the grasshopper population would likely increase significantly. Snakes are natural predators of grasshoppers, and without their presence, the grasshoppers would face less predation pressure. This population boom could lead to overgrazing of vegetation, potentially disrupting the ecosystem balance and affecting other plant and animal species. Additionally, increased grasshopper populations might lead to more competition for resources among herbivores.
Producers provide much needed energy in an ecosystem. Ten producers in a forest ecosystem are: grass, berries, shrubs, flowers, trees, weeds, algae, lichen, mosses, and fungi.

Snakes prey on rodents and insects. Many of these rodents and insects are harmful to food crops or carry disease which can affect humans, beneficial plants, and animals.Snakes have many uses to enviroinment .So killing snakes affects the enviroinment.
If all rats disappear from a forest, snakes that rely on rats as a food source will face food scarcity and a decline in their population. This may lead to increased competition among snakes for other prey species, potentially leading to changes in the ecosystem dynamics.
On what other parts of the ecosystem do snakes depend for food?
Competition. Both the owl and the snake must compete for the same food source.
Predation. The increased snake population requires an increased amount of food. The frog population could act as the food source for the increasing snake population thus reducing the frog population. - Dr. R. J. L.

Birds, snakes, insects. The larger animals will depend on where the forest is located. MY forests have bear, deer, turkey, raccoon, snakes, opossums, squirrels, chipmunks, and a lot of insects and birds. Others have boar, stags, wolverines, wolves, monkeys, etc.
Approximately 15 percent of the Earth's surface is coniferous forest. They are typically in mountainous regions. They are home to eagles, snakes, moose, bear, sheep, squirrels, owls and loons.

There are snakes on every continent except Antarctica. Of course snakes are in Borneo, it's tropical rain forest.
