Wild hogs and farm hogs can eat a poisonous snake because they are larger and can push the poison across a larger body mass. It would still make the hog sick, just would probably not kill it. Potbellied pigs do not attack snakes

Since boars, feral hogs, and pigs are all of the same family, this answer takes them all into account as "pigs".

Pigs are omnivores and not only can they be carnivorous predators, but they can be herbivorous or subsist on a diet that is both.


In the wild, in addition to plant matter, pigs eat worms, amphibians, insect larvae, insects, crayfish, small mammals, birds, snails, deer, young livestock, rabbits, and, yes, reptiles. This would include snakes.


Eating a poisonous snake will not make a pig sick.

Pigs have been known to kill and eat snakes that are found in their pen. They would not likely actually kill and eat one in the wild.

Yes, if the snake is poisonous and or the bite is deep, or no if the snake is not poisonous and the bite is just a small scratch-like bite.

Pigs will root for and kill snakes, including pot bellied pigs, but they can be significantly more expensive to care for than cats.

Yes, pigs will kill snakes, including rattlesnake. While they are not immune to the venom, their thick skin and layer of fat usually prevents them from being seriously envenomated.

There are no poisonous snakes but there are venomous snakes. Yes, a venomous snake could kill a pig.
