After the snake drank water,it raised his head dreamily as one who has drunk and flickered his forked tongue and licked his lips. He moved slowly away from the water trough

The snake’s thirst was satiated as it looked dreamily after drinking the water. After drinking water, he moves as ‘dreamily, as one who is drunk’ and very slowly goes back to the crack in the wall.
