Description: I found this snake dead on the side of the road, with its head inside a snail shell. When I removed its head from the shell, the snail came along as it was firmly clamped between the snake's jaws. There were no signs of trauma whatsoever on the snake's body. Is it possible that trying to eat this snail somehow killed it?

Description: This small snake was found yesterday on the road trying to get warm. The snake was 15cm - 20cm long. My guess is that it is some kind of house snake , but judging from earlier i can be wrong.
