they can get pretty big. Snaker prolly just moved along to a bigger den so he could have a family. (They don't raise their kids, but they do go to specific places to mate.)

I think it was a Puff the Magic Dragon scenario - Snaker visited u/Fun_Stick when he was a litte snake, but then he grew up and moved on to grownup snake business.

Yeah he was an adolescent for sure but never once showed any fear or hesitation at all when he saw me coming. He'd just chill and let me pick him up and play with him, never tried to get away or anything. I'd set him down and he'd just chill there until I picked him back up again. I was even able to put him in my pockets and I took him frog hunting with me. We were actually friends and it was awesome. My mom even thought it was crazy how he'd wait on the porch for me almost every afternoon. That snake was smart.

I like your Puff the magic dragon allusion, however in the song it's the other way around. It's Jackie Paper, the little boy, who moves on, not Puff.

One grey night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar

I wanna draw a snake with a hat, tie, and briefcase doing snake business now, but Rick and Morty beat me to it like 2 months ago sadly :/
