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

Yeah, but somehow the snake has to go from sneaking up to "gotchya". It's the moment where the snake gets enough loops around the deer to hold it that I'm having trouble imagining.
Well, it obviously happens. There's that African Rock Python picture, IIRC that thing had a Thompson's gazelle in it.
Smaller snakes have poison. That I understand. Sneak up, strike, wait a few moments.
