can most snakes live on a diet consisting of only feeder lizards?

Firstly, why would you want to feed them a diet consisting of reptiles??? Would you rather catch its food in your yard instead of spending the money on a proper diet of rodents??? If so, maybe a snake is not the pet for you...

There are a few species would do fine on a diet consisting of CBB reptilian prey but usually people try to get their captive animals to eat rodents...

House snakes and Sand boas would not do well on a diet that consists of house geckos and anoles...

i owuld not be catching the lizards,i would be buying them.but my mom doesnt do mice,so i would have to feed lizards,except maybe the occasional mouse without her knowing.like once a month,maybe twice.i already sneak my wc california kingsnake a mice every other weak.however i think he'll do good on mostly lizards because thats mainly what they eat as hatchlings out here.once again,i do not want to catch or even feed lizards,but i still want a snake.but i dont want to get one and kill it by feeding lizards,so i will not get one if i cant take care of it.could it would the snakes mentioned in the original thread be good one 2-3 lizards a month,and then 1-2 mice a month?

why not just get a garter snake and feed it worms and fish with the occasional mouse.

honestly, if your mom doesn't allow mice in the house, i would not get a snake. It is not fair to put the snakes health on line only because YOU want a snake...thats just selfish... Maybe you can convince your mom to allow you too feed frozen thawed or pre-killed rodents...?
