Moves silently and stealthily. Eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole. The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest. It can freely de­ tach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can be­ come too heavy to move, however. It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless. It flutters the tip of its tongue to seek out the scent of prey, then swallows the prey whole.
