Why do big snakes eat little snakes?
Because some reptiles see other reptiles as food. It's nature for large things to prey on smaller ones.

Why doctors use double engine snake?
"Double engine snake" is vague, but I assume you're referring to the caduceus, the winged staff with the intertwined serpents. It's a mystery as to why that particular symbol is used in reference to the medical profession, since it is traditionally the symbol of Hermes, who was not the god of medicine.
It is, however, vaguely similar in appearance to the rod of Asclepius (Asclepius being the god of medicine), though the rod of Asclepius has only one snake and the staff itself is a simple staff without wings. The simplest explanation is that someone without a grounding in classical education used the wrong symbol (most likely because he thought the version with two snakes and wings "looked cooler" and didn't realize it was actually a completely different symbol), and it somehow caught on.
How long does it take defrost a snake?
Defrosting a snake typically takes about 12 to 24 hours when done safely in a refrigerator. For quicker methods, submerging the sealed snake in cold water can take around 1 to 3 hours, depending on its size. It's crucial to avoid using a microwave, as this can cook parts of the snake unevenly. Always ensure the snake is completely thawed before feeding to prevent health issues for the pet.

How long does a corn snake carry her eggs before?

What is a good type of real snake to buy for the first time?
A ball python is a good first snake because they are very calm and slow. Keep in mind that any snake will bite so if you get it when it is a baby just keep that in mind. If you do buy a Ball python as a baby and work with it a lot and keep it fed then there is less of a chance for them to bite as they get older. When you buy an enclosure and bedding you will want to buy either a rack tub system with back or belly heat, or you could buy a glass enclosure if you want to be able to see it. The bedding you will want is something that will keep the enclosure humid and moist. I suggest that you get mulch, but do not get mulch with huge chunks of bark or else it will stick them and it will hurt them. If you feed them mice they will get addicted to it so give it rat pups as a baby and as they get older increase the size or else you will be spending more money in 3 mice than 1 rat. Feed it once or twice a week but do not make it obese. Make sure you have a large water dish so they can get in it and soak themselves. While they are shedding make sure the enclosure is very wet to keep the skin hydrated so the shed will come as a whole. If you handle them while they are shedding and the shed is covering their eyes then they will only see you as a heat source so the chance of them biting you will increase. Any excess shed that did not come off you will have to peel off. Peeling it will not hurt them but when you touch them while their skin is peeling it will feel like sunburn. This may all seem like alot but i suggest this snake because they are calm and docile where as a corn snake will musk on you and while you hold it it will squirm where as a ball python does not.

No, but in the Florida swamps Rock pythons are growing in population and eating anything they can find. I saw a picture of one who did try to eat an alligator. It didn't work out very well for him because he died.

Snakes can represent a number of different things. One common symbol is the cadussus, the snake or snakes twined around a winged staff, representing medical science.
