There could be more reasons that caused Toby's condition. Maybe the giant snake did something bad to Toby, or maybe Toby did something bad to himself.
Angor had been wondering why the giant snake did not attack Toby directly while the other smaller ones did. Surely the "snake king" could easily penetrate Toby's gravity barrier if it wanted to.
So what was it waiting for?
The snake couldn't be neglecting Toby since it furiously came after Angor when he took Toby away. There was something off.
After trying and failing to come up with any idea, he had to ask for Sunders' opinion.
Sunders dropped his act of unpleasantry and scanned Toby's body by sending a warm energy beam that way.
"All physical conditions are fine. No abnormality in brain readings. I don't see any problem. He's only sleeping."
Kanter heard their conversation and came. "He's right. Maybe your bird really needs more sleep."
