How do snakes kill and swallow their prey?
Some snakes paralyse their prey with a poisonous bite, injecting venom into the bloodstream via their long fangs- once the prey is paralysed, it can then be swallowed by the snake. This is true of cobras, rattlesnakes, vipers, and many other types. Other snakes, such as pythons, boa constrictors and anacondas, crush their victims to death by wrapping their strong muscular bodies around them and squeezing tight, causing suffocation and crushing bones.
== == == == == == If you have an open septic tank or broken sewage pipe anything that crawls can get into your toilet or bath tub or sinks. You can buy a special trap device to keep all creepy crawlers out of your sewage pipes. The device lets the water out but it won't let the critters in. Keep a tub screen on the drain in your tub to reduce spiders from coming into your bath tub.
I have seen a snake come out of my own toilet. Spiders come up out of the bath tub drain all of the time. I live in the woods. You can expect the unexpected when you live in a forest.

I would suggest luring it out of the hole using live prey. The small rodent should be in a closed area where it can't get out but the snake can get in. Like a crab trap. Another way is by force.

However if it is an emergency call an expert on reptiles, poison control or the ASPCA. Hope it helps =)!!!
Can a snake have 4 heart chambers?
Pretty much for the same reasons as us - it's simply nature.
Dinosaurs also had a four-chambered heart.
Unlike mammals, crocodile's right ventricle pumps blood throughout the body.
Such a heart perfectly separates blood going to the lungs from that going to the body, which is a requirement for the high blood flow rates and high metabolic rates characteristic of warm-bloodedness. However, living crocodiles are cold-blooded, so it didn't make sense for them to have a warmblooded heart - a mystery!

To find food, the snake has to find it. They use their Jacobson's organ(an internal organ that allows snakes to locate their food by "smelling" it) or their "belly" scales to pinpoint their meal using the prey's vibrations(movements). Once the prey is found, the snake forms a "S" and strikes its meal and injects venom; this making the small animal more managable for the snake.
