Northern Water Snakes eat mostly "cold-blooded" prey; small fish make up the largest part of the diet, followed in frequency by frogs, tadpoles, aquatic salamanders, and crayfish. Insects and earthworms are occasionally consumed, particularly by young snakes, while small mammals (mice, shrews) are rarely taken. Food is located by sight (particularly moving objects) and by odor. They seek prey underwater by actively probing into clumps of vegetation or under rocks or other submerged objects and may charge open-mouthed into schools of small fish. On the other hand, they sometimes capture frogs or fish after a slow, deliberate stalk. These snakes will eat carrion, including partially decomposed fish. The Lake Erie Water Snake seems to feed mostly on dead and dying fish that wash into its rocky shoreline habitat.


they eat small fish and frogs.

a good idea for a baby water snake is to have a water bowl for drinking and soaking and a seperate one with small goldfish in it. if you have a big tank, you can keep plenty of goldfish in it, and its cheaper than going to buy a pinkie every week
