Related Information:

Snakes are carnivores (animal eating). They eat other animals, including insects. There are no herbivorous (plant eating) snakes.

Like most reptiles, they are carnivores. They have preferences, but are opportunistic feeders. So, availability of prey is often the most important element of choice.

Smaller species subsist, mostly on insects, but they will take any prey that they can overcome and swallow. Larger snakes eat larger, more difficult prey, as their strength and abilities allow.

All snakes use the same criteria to evaluate potential prey: 1. It must be animal., 2. It must be catchable.3. It must be swallowable.

Examples of animals that are preyed upon by snakes are: Insects, worms, small fish,, tadpoles, other snakes, amphibians, rodents, birds, fish, pigs, dogs, ungulates, and while children are preferred, adult humans are on the menu also.
Snakes are elongate legless carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. Long answer short, no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake
