No, Snakes are strictly carnivorous. They mainly feed off rodents. All snakes are ambush predators which means they hide in a place where they no food is until its comes by them. If they are Venomous they will take one bite, inject venom through it's fangs and wait for the venom to kill the prey item, and if it's a constrictor it will grab its prey holding on by their needle sharp teeth and coil around the prey. Squeezing it to the point where it can't breathe. Then they swallow the prey whole.

No snake eats any vegetable matter, or dead animals.
Some eat insects. A few eat frogs, lizards, or even other snakes. Most eat small rodents or birds.
The most lifeless thing they eat are the eggs that a few species have figured out how to eat- but even those have to be fertile.

No.
(And snakes do eat dead animals. Just ask the thousands of us that feed ours f/t mice!)
