No. All snakes are carnivores. Snakes provide a great illustration of food chains-a plant uses the energy from sunlight to grow, sustain itself and make seeds; a mouse eats the seeds; a snake eats the mouse.

All snakes are strictly carnivorous, eating small animals including lizards, other snakes, small mammals, birds, eggs, fish, snails or insects. Because snakes cannot bite or tear their food to pieces, prey must be swallowed whole. The body size of a snake has a major influence on its eating habits. Smaller snakes eat smaller prey. Juvenile pythons might start out feeding on lizards or mice and graduate to small deer or antelope as an adult, for example.

The snake's jaw is the most unique jaw in the animal kingdom. Contrary to popular belief, snakes do not dislocate their jaws, they disarticulate their jaws, the jaw acts like a hinge opening down up to 180°. Snakes have a very flexible lower jaw, the two halves of which are not rigidly attached, and numerous other joints in their skull (see snake skull), allowing them to open their mouths wide enough to swallow their prey whole, even if it is larger in diameter than the snake itself, as snakes do not chew. For example, the African Egg-eating Snake has flexible jaws adapted for eating eggs much larger than the diameter of its head. This snake has no teeth, but does have bony protrusions on the inside edge of its spine which are used to aid in breaking the shells of the eggs it eats.

It's hard to imagine, but modern crocodylians (alligators, crocodiles and gavials) are very different from their ancestors. Some are plant eaters & some are meat eater.
