Um, try worse than that…

He definitely doesn’t have a degree in herpetology.

For a rattler, that’s awful small fangs.These religious zealots often either sow the mouth closed or clip the fangs!

Not even close to Gerald McBoing-Boing

So, you have no knowledge of the difference between “sow” as in scattering seeds to grow grass or crops and “sew” as in making or mending clothes!

And NO ONE quoted Indiana Jones by now? … WELLLLL !! ;)

A snake? There’s one overblown stereotype that this arc could have done without just fine.

Pretty sure “boing constrictors” don’t have rattles. Coiled springs maybe but not rattles.
