Normally snakes utilize what is called a preferred source, which is usually a particular prey species in their area, then when conditions change, utilize secondary food sources, then as conditions change, move to anything they can locate, then of course, cannibalism



"Preferred source"- that is saying mouthful there.



A lot to digest here.. people want thing simple and a directive to the care of a reptile and this is where they are so different.



I think of marine species like the great white and other shark species where they are trying to get them to be successfully in a large aquarium. I assume is so much more that marine biologist are missing from the behavior rather than just throwing them into a mammoth aquarium.



So do you think individuals themselves have different roles?





Like some eat within their respective rock pile while other venture out?
