ANSWER

Well snakes are really flexible abit like a gymnastic person, anyway back to snakes

so they are really flexible and are able to eat animals bigger than their size. But how? It's because they dislocate their jaw (which is where their mouth is by the way!!!!!!!!) and cover the animal or bite the animals leg, neck or anything to kill their prey!

There is one more thing a snake can do that can definatly kill their prey if snakes are either trying so so so hard to get food and can't or when they're being attacked they use their VENOM which can be very very very very very very very very deadly so be aware of your surroundings.

Snakes have flexible jaws that allow them to stretch their mouths wide open, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their head. Additionally, snakes have specialized muscles and ligaments that move and manipulate the prey down their body using a unique swallowing motion. This process allows them to consume prey that may be several times larger than their own body size.
