An attempt to explain the relations between rats and snakes has these parts: setting is an alternate universe (au) of Earth Prime all animals have the same intelligence as on Earth Prime but humans are much more sedentary and technology is pre-firearm the New World remained unknown until a big rock from space made a soft landing and was found to have magic ore that some humans quickly learned how to use for power and control a decade or so later it was discovered that a much larger piece had landed in au-North America and greed forced contact the ore was mined and refined and stored in large amounts one ore-dump went critical and exploded, taking all others with it the physical damage was large but limited, while the magic blast killed all humans on au-NA and devastated those nearest the mines in the old country; the dust will have consequences later, for now it's the chunks around one of the chunks conditions were such as to create a very few sapient individuals among rats, about 1 sapient to 1000 non-sapient (ns) another chunk had landed nearby in a snake den causing a single clutch of eggs to produce five sapient snakes, three female; only those eggs with both parents sapient produced sapients, also about 1-in-1000 for the snakes to become sapient they had to become warmer-blooded, which raised their food requirements to near that of similar-sized mammals after several months the two populations came in contact and found each the answer to a problem of cannibalism; the snakes could eat the ns-rats and the rats could eat the ns-snakes one of the things the magic blast did was make 'templates' of attitude and outlook from the humans which were 'set' into new sapients and produced a Camaraderie-of-Sapience that kept the smart ones safe while letting the mothers 'wean' their offspring earlier and without guilt the two areas were near the human town that had been built for a port and the rats and snakes started using it; this is the setting for a club named The Perilous Place, something like a Halloween Haunted House but the patrons can become performers (critters-with-harness pictures) after several months of hard work the critters could produce half-sapients consistently, from whom sapients came about 1-in-50 this eased the excess-population problem and had a benefit of its own: the half-sapients were fatalistic and readily followed directions, and the camaraderie didn't apply the rats and snakes started breeding other critters in the high-magic areas and they began to produce sapients of their own kind ------ There, isn't that more than you ever wanted to know about it? :-) Most of my vore pictures can be set somewhere along that time-line. Also most of the critters being eaten in them know that they were born to be snake food.
