Trivia Tuesday!

Which of the following do snakes not eat?

A: Lizards

B: Termites

C: Snails

D: Other snakes

Answer: None of the above, there are snakes that eat each of those things! That's right, it was a trick question!

There are plenty of species of snakes that eat lizards, such as the Asian vine snake (Ahaetulla prasina)...

And there are also well-known snakes that eat other snakes, such as kingsnakes...

But there are also snakes that eat termites! They generally fall under the group of blind snakes, and one such example is the Brahminy blind snake (Indotyphlops braminus), which decapitates its termite prey.

And there are even snakes that eat snails! The keeled slug-eating snake (Pareas carinatus) sucks snails out of their shells.
