Is a snake, a secondary consumer

No, a snake is not considered a secondary consumer. Snakes are typically classified as tertiary consumers. Secondary consumers are organisms that consume primary consumers, while tertiary consumers eat other consumers. In a food chain, plants are at the primary level, herbivores (which eat plants) are at the secondary level, and carnivores (which eat other animals) are at the tertiary level. Snakes are carnivores, eating other animals, which makes them tertiary consumers.
