FAQ

What is the simplest snake ASCII art?
A tilde tail with a head, like ~<:===~~~, reads instantly as a slithering snake. Copy it above to paste anywhere.
Do the long snakes stay aligned?
The one-line snakes work in any font. The coiled and cobra scenes need a monospace font to keep their shape.
Can I make a custom snake?
Yes. The free asciii.com generator turns a snake photo into copy-and-paste text art in seconds.
