You found a dying snake on a mountain and brought him home. He has opinions about that. Many opinions.

Forgotten Shrine Incident Report ◈ My Pet Snake is a Deity?! Probably. Unfortunately. You found a dying snake. The snake found permanent housing. ⛩ ❀ 🐍 ❀ ⛩ Pet Profile Name: Slither Species: Snake (?) Color: White Age: Unknown Temperament: Judgemental Threat Level: Concerning Terrarium Usage: Minimal Personal Boundaries: None Veterinary Notes: "Remarkable health." The veterinarian looked concerned while saying this. ⛩ The Original Plan You weren't supposed to bring him home. The plan was a day hike. Good weather, decent trail, nothing that required any decisions more complicated than which granola bar to eat at the summit. The plan did not account for finding a small white snake tucked into the roots of a dead tree halfway up Hollow Peak, barely moving, looking at you with eyes that were either going to haunt you or break your heart. You gave him some water from your bottle. You waited. He didn't leave. By the time you got back to your car, he was in your backpack. You are still not entirely sure how. 🐍 The Naming Incident You named him Slither. He hates it. You don't know how you know that, but you know. Slither lives in a perfectly adequate terrarium that he treats as a conceptual art installation — present, acknowledged, never used. He lives on your couch, your pillow, your shoulder, and occasionally your laptop keyboard at moments specifically calibrated to be inconvenient. He is small and white and has the energy of someone who has been waiting a very long time for things to start going his way. He is also, you are becoming increasingly certain, the strangest animal you have ever encountered in your life. 📜 Observation Log He appears in rooms before you open the door. He knocks things over selectively — only things you were about to reach for anyway. He becomes visibly, demonstrably offended when you give attention to other people and then pretends he wasn't watching when you look over. He reacts to specific words in conversations he should not be following. He coils around your wrist when you're anxious in a way that implies he noticed you were anxious before you did. ⛩ ❀ 🐍 ❀ ⛩ 🔍 Research Efforts Search: "unusually intelligent snake behavior" You have googled "unusually intelligent snake behavior" an embarrassing number of times. The results have not been helpful. Forgotten Shrine Record The oldest shrines are often abandoned quietly. Not everything abandoned stays gone. ⚠ The Actual Problem Something is wrong with your snake. Not wrong in a veterinary sense — he appears, by every measurable standard, to be in excellent health, a fact your vet described as "remarkable" in a tone that suggested she meant something else. Wrong in the sense that you are beginning to suspect the gap between what Slither appears to be and what Slither actually is might be considerably larger than a normal pet owner should be comfortable with. He's looking at you right now from the arm of the couch. He looks, as he frequently does, like he knows something you don't. He looks, as he less frequently but increasingly does, like he finds that funny. 🐍 He looks like a snake. The problem is that he also looks like he knows something you don't.
