Quote:> Yes. In case it takes one answer to both; rather have something unhelpful be marked as helpful than lose out on assistance.

You hastily agree to everything the codex has to say with a hearty and resounding “yes”.

The snake or snakes in question have been identified as the Howling Gut Snake. The Howling Gut Snake was first discovered in 1925 by semi-almost-renowned wildlife biologist Dr. Samuel Goarman Howler. The snake is named after two conventions: The first being after Dr. Howler himself and the second being after the unique gurgling screech the snakes make that, so far, no other known species of snake has been able to produce. The Howling Gut Snake’s other claim to fame are its feeding habits. It produces no venom, but instead directly attacks its prey and, using its teeth, burrows inside of it. Once inside it begins to eat the still living prey from the inside out. The snake’s trademark head spines prevent it from being removed during the burrowing process.
The snake’s only preference in habitat appears to be flat plain areas as, since its discovery, it has been found in arid, tropical, temperate, and tundra biomes. The snake’s temperament has been described by specialists as being “irritable” at best and “completely, blood-curdlingly psychotic” at worst. The snake responds negatively to being shaken as well as loud noises. Though, this is a trait shared by many creatures, the Howling Gut Snakes react in such an exceedingly negative way that it bears speacial mentioning and warning. When they hunt, the scent of their prey’s blood has been known to drive the snakes into a violent feeding frenzy. Even though they do share dens during the hibernation season, these creatures are mostly solitary.
While Dr. Howler is credited for discovering the Howling Gut Snake, his discovery was actually accidental. Dr. Howler experienced the snake’s feeding habits first hand one night while making use of his science team’s outhouse during an expedition. His discovery was accidental in that he hadn’t the slightest clue of what hit him. His wife Zealia Howler was moved to tears when she found out she would not receive any royalty checks from the snakes being named after her husband.
The best advice when approaching these creatures is to not approach them. It is better to just avoid them entirely, keep away from anywhere they might live, go about your life, and pretend they don’t exist.
Was this information helpful?"

You: "Well, now… That was informative…"

Quote:> Check the doors.

The first thing you decide to do after sitting through a long-winded spiel about how dangerous the snakes outside are, is to evaluate how easily you can get outside. When you turn to the driver’s side door you notice that the window is slightly open. Wait, why is it open? Was it open when you woke up? Something in the back of your mind is telling you that it’s not important and you shouldn’t worry about it. Even though it clearly is and you should.
While examining the window you see something glimmer out of the corner of your eye. It’s the keys! They’re dangling by a key ring from the truck’s radio antenna to the left of the hood. Someone has to be messing with you. There’s no way you put them out there. Is this some kind of practical joke? If this is for TV, it’d only be funny if it were happening to anyone other than you.
