Snakes eat carrion?

Yeah, Kingsnakes are garbage disposals. lol
I've also seen some garter snakes eat some nasty dead fish before.

I'm not surprised by it. Technically, when we're drop feeding our snakes it's not too far off from if they had been scavenging in the wild. I suppose it's just a matter of how long it's been dead...

And how hungry is the snake.

I would think arboreal and fossorial snakes are less likely to encounter carrion in the wild, and so they are less likely to eat them. I wonder if that makes them more difficult to feed in captivity. Somehow, I doubt it. It's never that simple.
