Small snakes eat bugs and frogs.
Larger ones eat fish, birds, mice, and rabbits. They use sharp teeth and strong muscles to catch the prey. This either kills the prey animal or makes it so the prey can't move. Once venom gets into the prey, it is easy for the snake to eat it. Some venomous snakes have bright colors or patterns which can warn us.
