With few exceptions, modern reptiles feed on some form of animal life (such as insects, mollusks, birds, frogs, mammals, fishes, or even other reptiles). Land tortoises are vegetarians, eating leaves, grass, and even cactus in some cases.

Beside this, is it bad to feed your snake in its cage? Feeding your snake inside its tank means that you don’t need to move or handle the snake, leaving it to digest its meal in peace. It’s quick and easy. There’s no need to source a separate container or spend time moving your snake back and forth.
One may also ask, should I wake my snake to feed it?
I personally do not wake my snake up to eat a meal. I prescent the room for about half an hour and that usually gets him into feed mode. I feed live. Once he has gotten the scent I put the prey into his ensclosure and then he eats.
