So get this. Since a certain incident involving hypnosis and bunnies, Jajuka has a psychological issue when trying to catch and devour smallish mammals, opting to hunt predators instead.
So instead of using rabbits and squirrels and the such the way one'd expect a large python to use them, Jajuka gets a word out - on cold days or with overcast skies above when it's hard to get one's body temperature up he invites any prey animals to come find him for a session of invasive hypnosis in which he makes them experience whatever they wish in their mind, essentially forcing them to go through lucid dreaming. No explanations necessary, one good look in the eye and Jajuka knows what the furball has come for. In return they simply stick around for the day, providing comfy body heat for the python to soak up - predators he actually eats are large and require a lot of energy to digest, so that helps a good bit.
