The answer is no on the whole but ,Many snakes eat other snakes: Snakes are the ideal food for another snake as they fit easily and nicely inside the long body! The Kingsnake is the among the best known for this. It locates rattlesnakes at night by smell, then bites and coils around its prey, constricting it until the other snake is exhausted. The Kingsnake will then swallow it whole while still alive. The Kingsnake is resistant to the rattlesnake's venom. But Kingsnakes also eat other prey besides snakes. Surprisingly, the few snakes that eat only other snakes are harmless burrowing snakes which eat other smaller harmless burrowing snakes. The prey snake is killed by a twist of its spine. The King Cobra (right) is another snake that preys on snakes.

1.) Bullsnakes eat rodents- those that nest on the ground or in burrows. Given a chance, they will also sometimes eat eggs, chicks, etc.
2.) Kingsnakes (and King Cobras) eat snakes, and will indeed eat a rattler if available, AND if the size difference is right. Snakes only hunt prey in a selected size range.
3.) Bullsnakes are not water snakes.

Bull snakes aren't snake eaters & they're not water snakes either, whatever that has to do with anything.

No. They eat small mammals. Mice, Rats, birds, gophers and other things such as that.
And they are not a water snake... They live in fields, brush, praries and open forests.
