Default Would a deer eat a snake?

Saw the strangest thing today. A small spotted fawn crossed the two track and met up with another. How cute. Oh, and there was Mom, my sight was suddenly was drawn to her because she was thrashing around with something kinda on her head.

It was a snake and she was biting it, shaking her head around and moving backwards. She dropped it once and then picked it back up and thrashed around some more before running off with it apparently still in her mouth.

I went to the area and found some small blood droplets and an 8-inch tail from some sort of snake. I don't know what kind, I ain't really great with snakes. Your guess is as good as mine.

What the heck is where I'm at now. Do you think she'd eat it or was just defending her fawns?
