All snakes are carnivorous, eating small animals, birds or insects. Snakes do not chew their food.
Snakes have very flexible lower jaws, the two halves of which are not rigidly attached, allowing them to open their mouths wide enough to swallow their prey whole, even if is larger in diameter their the snakes itself.Contrary to the popular myth, at no point do they "unginge" their jaws ( disarticulate their mandibular joints). After eating, snakes become torpid while the process of digestion takes place.
