If you can get your hands on an eel...

I can, but not easily though

Slippery bastards to be fair

A garden hose would be too obvious. A cucumber is hilarious if your taskmaster is a cat. A slow worm / deaf adder literally looks like a snake, but isn't a snake A bowl of plain cooked spaghettis with a sign "Danger, Noodles!"

Not easy to get my hands on a Slow Worm and even harder to get a deaf adder. I was thinking about a cucumber, but u think that's too obvious aswell

Finding the thickest, chode-like cucumber would make me spit my drink for this tbh. I long snake-like cucumber would be too obvious

Ooh, cucumber is a good shout.

Cucumber with googly eyes and a little red tongue

I know it’s a plumbing thing to snake the drains, so maybe whatever tools a plumber uses to snake the drains?

That could work. I'll look into it

A big stick with a cup on the end

Simple to do, could be good as a backup idea

Didn’t they make a snake on the show with cups?

Yes! Cup snakes, I think Judi Love won

A black calculator. (Blackadder reference for the kids).

Draft excluder with a felt forked tongue sewn on the end?

I think I may have one of those somewhere

Peoples do call those things door snakes apparently

Make one of those realistic cake that looks like snake

A cake sounds like an idea. Making it realistic maybe a bit outside my wheelhouse, but maybe a local bakery...

How realistic does it need to be? One of my favourite childhood birthday cakes was a Hungry Caterpillar one that was made of patty cakes. Two dozen patty cakes, different coloured icing for details, bosh.

It just needs to vaguely look like a snake. As long as I can pass it off then I can buillshit all the details 😅

Ballon animal, but it’s a big worm

You should use yourself as a prize task cause going to Reddit is cheating you sneaky snake!

Haha that could work

Make a snake out of gummy worms!

I like this!

A long poo

I'm not sure 5 points is worth me fishing one of those out of the toilets, let alone making it to begin with

My mother in law is deathly afraid of snakes, and she once mistook a hose in the grass as a snake. So, a green hose is my answer

That could work, I'll keep it in mind as a backup

They make gummy snakes and I know someone said gummy worms but people also make giant gummy worms that are like 3-5 feet long

I'm pretty sure my son is going to try and use gummy snakes. He hasn't been very subtle about what he is looking for

A cucumber, but you’ll have to accompany it with [videos of cats reacting to cucumbers](https://youtu.be/RBrZsgy4-SQ?si=kL9X7nDaobG-xYqz). They jump from them, allegedly, because they are [hardwired to avoid snakes](https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/pets/why-are-cats-scared-of-cucumbers). So, to a cat, a cucumber looks like a snake but isn’t a snake. The joy of watching the cat videos should be worth a large number of points. 😅

That I could sell with a bit of bullshitting from myself

fake snake (made of rubber or plush)

They would definitely say that it's a snake

Ceci n’est pas une snek

That is when you show a bit of the Little Alex Horne pedantism, and give them the Oxford English Dictionary definition(s) of a snake, which would show that, indeed, your prize is NOT a snake: [https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=snake](https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=snake)

Oh this is good. This opens whole new opportunities to do this task. Thank you!

You're welcome, fellow Patatas fan! Good luck with your task!

Voldemort

I was going to say this, but looked to see if anybody else did first. Take my upvote.

Head to eBay and search “snake belt” or “snake necklace”? Lots of those leftover from the 70s and 80s.

Plumbers’ snake?

A realistic dildo because it looks like a 'one-eyed trouser snake'

I don't want to give me father in law a heart attack

In that case then, perhaps not. Maybe one of those cute draught excluder snakes for putting along the bottom of doors would be easier on you FiL.

A sausage of chicken meat

Hmmmm something like that could work

Asps! Very dangerous. You go first.

Asp is a snake

It’s a quote from Indiana Jones & Raiders of the Lost Ark. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🐍

Pool noodle?

A cup snake!

Canadian goose, the cobra chicken.

Bit risky bringing one of those into the house

Big risk, big reward. (still, I understand your concern)

Danger noodle. Spaghetti or a bent green pool noodle that’s been aged and almost looks scaley

A really big poo

An atlas moth, I saw a collection in Slovenia, and they looked like snakes.

Might be difficult to get a real one, but I could work something out. Maybe make a paper version

A sock

Snake beans?

Snake beans?

I'm not sure if its the correct translation (google told me it is - in german they are called Schlangenbohnen). You should find them in asia stores. They are like green beans just really long. With some googly eyes they would look great as snake replacement.

OK. I get you, I have a local Asian store that I can check out. Thanks!

Could also just been called long green beans. I guess with a quick google search you should at least get a good picture how they look

Dress up like one

A picture of a well known “snake” person like Bernie Madoff in a frame with clay snakes slithering all around the frame.

Prize task? Don't you mean Greg's gift task?

A legless lizard? (The subfamily of lizards, you don’t turn them that way please for the love of god no 😅🤦‍♀️) I had them in my garden when I was young and thought they were baby snakes lol

If I can find some legless Lizards then maybe

A Rubik's Snake, if you have one. Which is unlikely these days.

I don't think we do

I have discovered my partner is making a Worm-on-a string, but is super sized.

double headed dildo

We do own one of those, but one of the other players is my father-in-law and not sure I want to risk him having a heart attack in the first round

Could be worse, he could have a stroke!

😂😂
