Snake of the Rock

The snakes, much like the adders, are rather special you see. Snakes have the ability to grow quite long in length and can be found all curled up. Inside them, it's almost always digestion. In fact, the only time these grow in size and width is after they've had a rather large meal. Then, the meal forms a bulge to be found within the stomach region. Because the snake is so narrow, digestion takes up entirely much of the room. That's why, as the food digests, it moves through the snake. Thus, the other organs are relatively small in size compared to the rest of the the creature. When eating, snakes have the ability to unhinge their jaws wide and so swallow their prey. Their prey come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. These can be anything from mice to the occasional gerbil and range to even a small baby bird.

That makes snakes like those found in the orginal garden of Eden quite cunning indeed. Sometimes they're hard to notice in the midst of their natural habitat. Nor are these limited to the rocks only as they search for warmth and their prey. These also like to haunt most uninhabited spaces, though they will on occasion find their way home. Well, it's not their home into which they enter but rather into yours. That's when an expert in removal and disposal of snakes gets called in. If you don't, these breed quickly and will soon have a litter. A gathering of snakes then is known as a den. Here these grow best in the warmth of each other though they much prefer to bask in the light. While they might be nice to look at, it's best to admire from a distance.

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.

Ecclesiastes 10:8-9
