Not at all. Most wild snakes will eat what they can get when they can get it. It's not uncommon for large snakes to take on a huge meal, digest for a couple weeks, then live off of the reserves for several months.
BTW, I know condas eat a lot of capybaras, but the nose on this animal is tapered like... well... a tapir. :)
