Snakes use the vitamins and minerals that they get from vegetarian prey. A mouse is omnivorous as are rats, these are the most eaten prey animals for snakes along with birds, other snakes, lizards, frogs, fish and some will eat worms or insects. Some snakes have evolved to be a species-specific prey-eaters, like the snakes that eat eggs.
