“....I once placed a mouse in a glass cage, next to a snake in a glass cage. In about 12 hours, the mouse dropped dead....”

Sure you did....We all believe you actually did this.
ok, let me give you more detail. My kid was off at college or the like, and I was feeding his pet snake. It ate live mice.
We had two glass cages, a big one the snake lived in, and a smaller one for feeding - don’t feed a snake in it’s home, or it will assume that anything that moves in it’s home is food, and you will get bit.
So the procedure is take the snake out of it’s home, put it in the feeding cage, and chuck in a mouse. Snake eats mouse.
But we had two mice, so once the snake had eaten, I put it back in it’s home, and set up the spare mouse in the feeding cage with some food and water, for the next time the snake needed to be fed.
Hours later, it keeled over, dead. I should have put something between the two glass cages, so it couldn’t see the snake staring at it.
But you “all” can believe whatever you wish.
