Chapter 2

Our BP finished swallowing the prey whole, just as the night reaches full darkness. Being a young snake, the mouse was more than enough of a meal to satiate him for a few days.

He slowly crawls from his hole in search for some water. Luckily, the rainy season is not a too distant memory, and he is able to reach a small pond. The pond is secluded from large predators by a natural form in the land.

He dips his head into the water, and gently starts to swallow the water. A startled frog quickly swims away as our BP heads back for his hole.

Crawling back into the hole with a full belly, he will hide for tonight, only to emerge in the morning to bask in the warm sun. He will be ready to eat in about a day, and will most likely emerge the next night, waiting for the next chance mouse to come by.
