Imagine your in the bushes, watching a ball python hunt. He's sitting there with his head happily sitting outside of his hide. Night is falling, crickets are chirping, a few buffalo groan in the distance. Our BP suddenly smells something. This perks him up and he draws a little bit more into his hide, waiting tensely for what is coming.
Across the way through some tall grass, a little mouse darts into the opening. Nibbles some food, darts again, poops, eats some food he finds on the ground.
He continues his little trek, inching closer and closer to the BP's hole. You are watching the BP, you can see his head staying completely still, his tongue is flicking... his body is tense and ready to strike.
It's quiet, hardly any movement, except from our little mouse.
Then with out warning, BAM! Our BP pulls the mouse into his dark hide, constricting it with his coils.
Key is prescenting, quiet and dim, no disturbances, and let him hunt from his hide.![]()
