The Snake is the 4th reptile generator unlockable in the game. It requires Mesozoic Valley Rank 15 to unlock. They are any species in the Order Serpentes, which is in the Order Squamata.

Design

The snake has the appearance of a timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus). Two snakes resides in the Desert section of the Land garden. One is behind the elephant (Ungulates) and Archie's Fossil, and another before an ibex (Ungulates). The snake remains coiled and moves its head and tounge around.

The snake hisses when clicked on.

The snake has one Trophy Animal just like most Rise of Reptiles Generators: the Viper.

Viper

The Viper coils around a branch in the Savanna section of the Land garden.

The viper has the appearance of a green pit viper (Genus Trimeresurus). A viper lives in the Savanna section of the Land garden, and coils on a branch of tree directly above a large group of Tetrapods. Another one lives in the Jungle section, coiled over a vine close to a large group of Apes. The viper makes an animation of it coiling around a branch and rearing back.

The viper has no sound when clicked on.

Description

"Long, skinny, and limbless, snakes are a family of carnivorous reptiles. They range in size from only a few centimeters to almost seven metres in length."

Upgrades

Snake has 7 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x157,993 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Habitat Diversity	Common snakes can be found almost everywhere on Earth. Their ability to adapt to a multitude of different environments has allowed them to find ecological niches in just about every type of habitat.	Entropy 3.33e20	333%	Snake
	Slithering	Snakes get around by slithering, using their muscles to move gradually and smoothly over the ground with an oscillating motion. Despite their lack of limbs, they can move quite fast.	Entropy 9.99e20	333%	Snake
	Colubridae	Most colubridae, or common snakes, are not venomous and are mostly harmless. They are found in every continent except Antarctica and a few islands such as Ireland.	Entropy 6.47e20	666%	Slithering Habitat Diversity
	Hollow Fangs	Vipers have hollow fangs - curved teeth that are specially adapted to fill with venom that the snake can inject into their prey. Not all viper bites are fatal to humans, but they can cause lasting neurological, organ, and tissue damage.	Entropy 3.88e22	333%	Colubridae
	Constriction	Python's long bodies and incredibly strong muscles enable them to wrap around their prey, squeezing them to death.	Entropy 3.95e25	333%	Viper Colubridae
	Python	The pythons are non-venomous, and are some of the largest snakes in the world. They use their prominent front teeth to catch their prey, then wrap their bodies around them and squeeze, constricting them to death.	Entropy 6.65e24	666%	Constriction
	Viper	Vipers are a family of snakes with a venomous bite. They will often rear up, hiss, or make other warnings to try to get the creature that threatens them to back off - but will bite when prey (or unwitting humans) get too close.	Entropy 6.67e27	666%	Hollow Fangs

Achievements

Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Luck of the Irish	While old folklores state that there are no snakes in the country of Ireland because Saint Patrick drove them out in the fifth century AD, it is more likely that snakes simply never made it to Ireland because of the inhospitable climate.	25 Snake
	Pepto-Abysmal	Because they swallow their prey whole, it can take 3-5 days for a mid-sized snake to digest its meal. With larger snakes, such as pythons, digestion can take over a week. They can swallow food as large as a whole jaguar - or a human.	50 Snake
	Brille-iant!	Instead of eyelids, snakes have a single transparent scale, called a brille, that covers and protects their eyes. These scales become cloudy shortly before the snake sheds its skin, and this is the only time they are visible.	100 Snake
	Sibling Rivalry	Two-headed snakes are not entirely uncommon in the wild. They form like conjoined human twins, and usually die relatively young because each head has a separate brain - they often fight over prey, and one head may attempt to eat the other.	150 Snake
	Slithering Statistics	Only one in 50 million people (around four or five a year) in the US will die from snake bites. However, this varies significantly by region. In India, around 20,000 deaths by snakebite occur per year.	250 Snake

Trivia

• The Snake is the most effiective Generator before unlocking Anseriformes, and remains very useful throughout the pre-Singularity Entropy production until the Bird generators take over.
