In page Snake:

"

All snakes are strictly carnivorous, preying on small animals including lizards, frogs, other snakes, small mammals, birds, eggs, fish, snails, worms, and insects.[1]: 81 [2][3] Because snakes are primary ambush predators, they often have to wait for a long time between each prey. As an adaptation to these prolonged periods of fasting, they have lost the "hunger hormone" known as ghrelin.[4] Snakes cannot bite or tear their food to pieces so must swallow their prey whole. The eating habits of a snake are largely influenced by body size; smaller snakes eat smaller prey. Juvenile pythons might start out feeding on lizards or mice and graduate to small deer or antelope as an adult, for example.[citation needed]
