As far as no ill effects I'm not aware of anyone convincing a snake to eat fruit (or vegetables) so can't say on that one. Mitch,

Sure, a snake could swallow a piece of fruit or vegetable and it’s stomach acids would digest it but the snake would get absolutely no nutritional value from it. As far as no ill effects I’m not aware of anyone convincing a snake to eat fruit (or vegetables) so can’t say on that one.
