The veterinarian continued to explain, saying, “You see, Reggie’s stomach is empty, which is very strange for a python his size. I believe he has been preparing to eat a large meal, and that’s why he hasn’t been eating his regular food.” Snakes have an amazing ability to open their jaws wide and consume prey much larger than themselves.
Cassandra couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She asked desperately, “But what could he possibly be planning to eat? I’ve offered him different kinds of food, but he has rejected them all.”
Dr. Hanson hesitated, glancing at the large python and then meeting Cassandra’s gaze. In a concerned tone, he said, “Ms. Turner, I think Reggie may have been considering you as his prey.”
