If I knew this I would probably have nightmares about it.

Deer are about as smart as a door knob. They lay down during the day and just sit there. A python can smell them from a long ways away and vector in on them ever s o s l o o o o o w l y.

Look at rats and mice! They're totally amped out nervous ninnies but are the staple food for most smaller snakes.
