Snakes (carnivorous reptiles that survive off of small rodents, amphibian, fish, and eggs | Snakes (carnivorous reptiles that survive off of small rodents, amphibian, fish, and eggs) attack by means of poisonous fangs, constriction, or swallowing their prey whole) are geckos' main predators. When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture. The gecko can regenerate it's tail again after time. | ||
Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat rodents and other mammals, birds, reptiles, fish,amphibians, insects, and eggs. Some snakes (like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes) are venomous and kill (or paralyze) their prey by injecting poison through hollow fangs. Some snakes (like boas and the anaconda) kill their prey by squeezing it to death. Snakes do not chew their food or even bite it into pieces; snakes swallow their food whole. Other snakes just catch their food and swallow it.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko] | Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters).
