The gut microbiota is an emerging frontier in animal research, and researchers are increasingly transparent about its importance to health. Reptiles, particularly snakes, have not received the same attention given other vertebrates, composition of their wild microbiome remains understudied. In this study, HiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform was used sequence analyze 16S rRNA V4 region three species (Gonyosoma coeruleum, Rhabdophis pentasupralabralis, tigrinus). This study investigated alpha diversity analysis showed that richness RP significantly higher than two snakes. dominant genus Gonyosoma coeruleum (GC) tigrinus (RT) Cetobacterium, while Enterobacteriaceae; g_uncultured pentasupralabralis (RP). Tree clustering based on Bray-Curtis distances Jaccard similarity coefficients indicated RT more similar. unique diet promotes a diverse, competitive microbiota, GC displayed stable networks linked shared dietary habits. functional heat map predicted functions microbes snake were different. These findings suggest preferences exert stronger influence microbial function host genetic background, distantly related with similar diets exhibit convergent characteristics.
