Like most snakes, king snakes' mouths unhinge very wide. They can open their mouth comparitively as far as you can move your thumb away from your pointer finger. Then, the snake can eat anything that can fit in it's mouth.
Rattle snakes are their prey.
Snakes eat their food whole. Usually head first. The lower jaw on snakes can unhinge enabling the snake to eat much larger prey than their head. The snakes body muscles then push the meal down inside the snakes stomach.
Yes, some snakes do eat squirrels. Larger snakes such as pythons and king snakes are known to prey on squirrels when given the opportunity. Snakes are carnivores and will consume a variety of small mammals if they can catch them.
They swallow it whole, head first. All snakes are carnivorous. With venomous snakes such as cobra the digestive process is started as soon as the venom is injected.
Birds of Prey, other snakes.
Yes. This is how most snakes are able to eat prey several times larger than the snake's head.
Snakes can consume a meal that is larger than their mouths because their jaws are loosely jointed, and their upper and lower jaws can move independently. Then after the snake will move its head back and forth to come to prey into its stomach.
A Snake Gulper The king cobra feeds on "other" snakes.
They like a mixture of rodents and birds and other snakes (they are ophiophagous like king snakes) Small animals like rodents and other small reptiles, some larger prey too but rarely.
Animals that eat garter snakes include birds of prey such as hawks and owls, larger snakes like king snakes and racers, and mammals such as raccoons and foxes. These predators will hunt and consume garter snakes as part of their diet.
The same way as other snakes do - head first and whole.
Nope - King snakes are constrictors. They subdue their prey by squeezing the victim's body so tightly that it cannot breathe in.
