The snake will remain like this until prompted by hunger to rouse and seek food. In the wild, the snake's water requirements are satisfied through it's food and by water droplets that condense on the snake's body in its richly humid environment. Tree boas in captivity sometimes soak in their water bowls to receive adequate moisture. Exclusively tropical rainforests in the upper canopy. As a secondary benefit, the toxins deter large predators as well.
Ants eaten by poison-dart frogs play an essential role in the toxicity of the frogs themselves.
Frog toxins appear to be metabolized by-products of the ants' own toxins. They are also incredible leapers. If you're lucky, you may see the frogs stalking flightless fruit flies, the mainstay of their diet in captivity. They can consume up to 100 flies per day. Tiny arthropods, including ants, flies, mites, and spiders.
