Snake

Shy and insecure, they must keep a low profile to avoid the disapproving glances and teasing of others. Of course, their poisonous wit and quick tongues help to keep tormentors at bay. Snakes have no illusions about getting breaks in life and while they see doors opening for others, they know they must find alternate routes. Most snake, therefore, have stopped looking for open doors entirely and focus almost exclusively on alternative means of getting what they want.
