There are many types of snakes around the world. There is the Eastern Diamondback, Garter Snake, Green Tree Python, Venezuelan Rattlesnake, or the Mexican Lance- Headed snake.

Yet all snakes are carnivores and they hunt primarily by smell. Using their forked tongue, they pick up small particles in the air given off by their prey. Also in the tongue is a directional sensor that tells the snake which direction the scent came from. Snakes primarily eat small animals such as other reptiles (including snakes), rodents and other tiny mammals, fish, snails, birds, eggs, snails, and insects. Snakes do not chew their food and must swallow it whole. To do this requires to them to open their jaw wider then their prey. Thus, it is widely believe that snakes can dislocate their jaws, but this is not true. Snakes lower jaws are in two halves which are highly flexible. It contorts to wrap around its prey allowing the snake to pull its food down into its throat.
