What snakes don't eat rodents?

Answer 1

Actually, snakes are quite opportunistic and will eat carcasses they find in the wild! In captivity, it can be hard to get them to take dead prey, but with persistence and creativity they can successfully be switched. Live, warm prey is just a lot more tantalizing than dead cold prey, especially when your food is being handed to you regularly.

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the snake. Larger snakes are capable of eating adult rats, while smaller snakes can eat "pinky" rats (babies with no fur) and mice. Some species of snake prefer bugs, amphibians or fish over mammalian prey.

Believe it or not - some snakes will only eat rodents of a certain colour ! In over 25 years of keeping reptiles, I've had quite a few snakes that would only eat black mice, or only gerbils etc. Each animal has its own traits.

Answer 4

Snake venom is not poisonous and is only dangerous when injected. When it is eaten it causes no harm unless the animal has open sores in its mouth or digestive tract. The venom is eventually digested as would be any food.
