Is snake a producer or Decomposer?

As a herbivore, a snake is a secondary consumer. A tertiary food source for it is other carnivores, such as certain snake species. Snakes are neither decomposers nor producers.

Are snakes tertiary consumers?

Snake, owl, and fox are examples of tertiary consumers. Animals can be either one or the other depending on what they are eating at the time, so there is some overlap.
