Snakes are reptiles.
They are part of the order Squamata.
They don’t have legs, voice, ears, and eyelids, in fact they are really just a pingas with eyes and teeth. Despite this, snakes are successful carnivores.
There are at least 20 families,and about 500 genera and 3,400 species.
They have a long, slender body, and are very mobile in their own way. Most of them live in the tropics. (source)
Can guinea pigs eat snakes?
No, they cant at all. As carnivores, guinea pigs will not attempt to eat other types of animal. No matter what they are.
If in doubt, a snake will almost certainly eat the guinea pig more than the other way around and they should be separated as much as possible.
In some countries such as Australia where snakes are prevalent, it may be necessary to snake-proof your guinea pig’s cage so as to protect your guinea pig from snake attacks as they are at risk if they are outside in that kind of environment.
