I propose baby snakes be called “slitherlings”
Reblog if you agree!
The current proper term is “snakelets”
Slitherling is cute! It would help with more people realizing snakes are, indeed, adorable.
And while adults can be called “nope rope”, “danger noodle” (highly venomous), spicy spaghetti (dramatic snakes like hoggies that pose no danger), spicy ramen (same as before but scrunched), judgmental shoelace (vine snake), and snek, babies should be called gummi-worms.
Language changes based on how people use it, and I fully support a shift to endearment for snakes.
Should baby snakes be called “slitherlings”?
No it’s stupid. This is all stupid.
Yes! It’s a very endearing/cute term!
Let’s not change official language, but calling them gummiworms is cute!
I… oh gods I hate making choices please just let me see the results.
