Description

The brown-ringed bush snake is notable for its unique paralytic venom. Upon injection, the toxin targets the skeletal muscles while leaving the major internal organs of its prey with some function. The meal finds itself completely unable to move, besides its facial muscles. All it can do is visually show its displeasure as the snake opens its jaws to swallow the prey item whole.

Most snakes with long digestion periods run the risk of their food rotting during digestion. The brown-ringed bush snake can take up to 9 months to completely digest a meal, but the venom injected keeps its stomach contents alive and conscious for the duration. It can sleep soundly knowing the food filling its belly will stay fresh until it's completely absorbed.

Unfortunately, the paralysis does nothing to dull the sensation~
