Welcome to the official game of Snake in Funtrivia.com

Well, here we are at the mighty big 50 game...What can I say ? It has been a fantastic year and well done for everyone who has played and hopefully enjoyed themselves. (Well, you must of liked something to come back every week)

A BIG Welcome Back to all our old Snake players and A BIG THANK YOU to all the players who have kept this game alive, without you there would be no Snake

Congrats to All who played and the winner of the last game 'Pinhead'

The Topic will be SNAKES (it had to be it's namesake)

Valid Entries


    1. Highest score will win.
    2. Score for Q, X, Y and Z will count as two points each within the entry.
    3. An entry can be it's Common or Scientific name.
    4. A Location / Country must be attached with your entry.

Invalid Entries


    1. If a Scientific name has been used then the Common name will be Invalid. VICE-VERSA !!
    2. No Scientific name that ends with the same word twice. Example - Snakemaster Sypher Sypher (Couldn't think of anything better )
    3. Any Entry that does not state where the Snake can be found.

    ## Late Rule ##

    4. No Entry can end in the word '-Snake'.


There are certain letters that you will find no entry for. In that case the player must take the previous letter to the last.

The Following Letters you will not find an Entry - I , X , (More to Follow)

This week is kicked off by 'Auschic' using the letter 'S'

Good Luck Everyone!
