The snake's digestion begins by putting the prey into its buccal cavity where salivary glands moisten the prey up so it would be easier to swallow. Next, the prey enters the very long esophagus which moves the prey into the
J- shaped stomach. The stomach digests the prey and it continues to move into the small intestine, where absorption of nutrients and digestion takes place. The food then passes through the large intestine into the cloaca which absorbs water. Lastly, the wast is stored in the rectum and releases by the anus.
