Hatched

  I awoke to a strange orange light as if my eyelids were closed. I tried to move towards it but ran into something leathery, I tried to feel around but noticed I didn't have any limbs! I then moved my head around and noticed that the barrier was only a little bigger than me in a spherical shape. I was in an egg! I then decided to coil up a bit and surge forward to break the shell of the egg. It broke on impact and I saw the surrounding area for the first time it looked like a large jungle. I looked at myself and saw I was around 6" long and 1/4" thick with pitch black scales. Then I saw a blue box in front of me.

  It's convenient to know where I am, now to figure what I am. I know I'm a snake but what kind.

  With that figured out I decide to look for place to rest away from the rest of the eggs in case they turn out to be hostile. With that I go to search for a tree with a small hollow in it. I rest up for the rest of the day I decide to go hunt for small insects until I can hunt bigger prey more reliably. I find several large beetles right off the bat. I decide to sneak up and bite them while injecting a small amount of venom so I can get more than one. As I carry out my plan I end up getting two before the rest fly off.

  With that I swallow the large bugs whole so I can digest them. I then move to the base of a bush to hide while digesting my meal. As I finish digesting my meal I feel myself grow out of my current skin and grow an inch longer while getting another 1/4" thicker. When I finish growing I begin to feel hungry again so I start going in the direction the beetles flew off but run across a baby rat that wandered to far away from the den. I immediately still mysits then begin to raise myself and strike the small mammal with my fangs piercing its heart. I then swallow my prey and rest myself so it can digest. When it finishes I grow another two" longer and a half inch thicker.

  I begin subconsciously flick my tongue to pick up the young rat's scent and follow it to its den. As I arrive smell another 9 scents one a bit older then the rest. I begin my descent into the new den making as little noise as possible. When I get to the main burrow I single out the biggest rat and approach to bite it. Then as I near biting range the rat wakes and squeaks out a challenge. When it starts to charge I coil back and strike it in the neck flooding it with a large amount of venom. It dies before my fangs leave its body. I then make my way to 8 younger scents were I find rats a little bigger then the first rat I ate. I begin to kill then eat them two at a time till all that's left is the adult I killed when entering. By the time all the young rats have been eaten I'm a little over 2' long and 3" thick. I swallow the adult rat and digest it bringing another foot in length to my already growing body.

  I decide to look at my progress to how I'm doing.

  What does it take to evolve into something different?
