| | Snake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most snakes lay eggs, and of those most species abandon them shortly after laying; however, some species are ovoviviparous and retain the eggs within their bodies until they are almost ready to hatch. | | | All snakes are carnivorous, eating small animals including lizards and other snakes, rodents and other small mammals, birds, eggs or insects. | | | Snake digestive acids are unable to digest most plant matter, which passes through the digestive system mostly untouched. |

| | Even in snakes that are not growing, the scales become drab and worn over time, and must be periodically replaced by a new, healthy layer. | | | Although uncommon, some snakes, such as the African rock python, have been observed eating animals as large as an antelope or a small cow. | | | Many snakes have specialized jaws that enable them to swallow animals that are far larger than their own heads. |

| | The new snake may be diseased or parasitized and you wouldn't want it to infect your healthy animals. | | | After the food is in it's stomach, the snake will want to find a small, dark, and warm location to lay around for four or five days and digest the food. | | | Typically a snake will get parasites either from the wild, from the pet store, occasionally from being outdoors, or occasionally from the rodents that you are feeding your snake. |
