“They are predators; I feel that they should remain as Predators, not Scavangers. “
Its funny that you would say that because from the very beginning of this post I remembered seeing a show on Animal Plant, I want to say that it was Jeff Corwin, but anyway they were doing research on Western Diamondbacks. It was night; they found a Diamondback and placed a prekilled rat in front of the snake. Well with the researchers watching the snake the snake would not move. So they left the area and left the camera running. The researchers came back later, no snake, no rat. Watched the tape and low and behold the wild Diamondback ate the prekilled rat.
Just goes to show that Herping is still a relatively new hobby and new things are learned everyday. Even about common snakes held in captivity. Who is to say they don’t sometimes scavenge. The wild Diamondback did. A Water Moccasin will too. Who knows? ----- Jeff
