Nevertheless I am quite happy with the features in the game and I hope everyone who plays it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing/playing it.
-I can think of at the least the following:
They grow through a process called moulting - shedding their skin (other creatures also moult). This takes place over some days and unlike humans snakes never stop growing (though growth slows down as they mature). I chose the variables SHED and SHEDS for simplicity and because the words are shorter. I don’t like the words because it’s rather a misnomer but what I had chosen before was longer - STRETCH and STRETCHES.

The latter is hard to comprehend and there are some sad tails (tales) in there too because I believe that people actually believe in this (how/why I do not know) and they really do tell the truth as they see it (even if impossible).
