Do all snakes constricked their prey?

not all snakes constrict their prey. there are two groups of snakes. the ones who constrict, or strangle their prey, and there are ones who use their venom and bite the prey. but no, there is not a snake that uses venom and constricts their prey. either they have sharp teeth with venom or very strong muscles.


How do snakes attract their prey?

Snakes use various methods to attract their prey, such as ambush hunting by remaining still and camouflaged until prey comes close enough to strike, or using pheromones to lure prey towards them. Some snakes may also use movement or vibrations to mimic prey or create a visual distraction that draws prey closer.


Is it true that when venomous snakes bite their prey they can smell the venom they have injected into their prey and that is how they track them?

No, venomous snakes do not track their prey by smelling the venom they inject. Snakes use their sense of smell to locate prey, and once they bite and inject venom, the venom works to immobilize or kill the prey. Venom can also aid in digestion once the prey is consumed.


Do snakes eat live mice?

No. Some snakes are too small to eat mice, and go after insects, amphibians, or fish. Others,such as the reticulated python, would not go after such small prey and instead target prey such as small deer. Many snakes that are in the righ size range still prefer other prey. Sea snakes feed primarily on fish and one genus of snakes feeds entirely on egg. Snakes that do eat rats and mice do not limit themselves to such prey, and will also eat lizards, birds, and even other snakes.
