it depends on the reptile. Small land dwelling lizards and snakes feed mostly on insects, worms, slugs, and small amphibians. Larger species may also go after small mammals (e.g. mice), birds, fish, and other reptiles. Very large reptiles such as crocodiles, komodo dragons, and a few species of snake sometimes go after large animals such as deer, water buffalo, and even zebras in the the case of crocodiles.

Some reptiles, such as tortoises are herbivores and don't have prey.
