Okay, so, I was trying to do this crossword puzzle, right? And there’s this clue, “pet snakes home.” I’m staring at it, scratching my head, thinking, “What could it be?” I mean, I don’t own a snake, so I wouldn’t know where they live.
First, I grabbed my phone and started Googling like crazy. I typed in “pet snakes home crossword clue” and a bunch of stuff popped up. I saw some websites talking about “Idaho” and the “Snake River.” That didn’t seem right, though. Idaho is a state, not a home.
- So I looked some more, and I found a site that had possible answers based on the number of letters.
- There was “AIDA” for four letters, but that didn’t make sense either.
- Then I saw “META” and “SEGUE” for five letters.
I was getting a bit frustrated, but I kept digging. Another site claimed there were like 40 possible answers. 40! That’s a lot for one clue. It mentioned seeing the clue in the “USA Today puzzle,” but that didn’t help me much since I didn’t have that specific puzzle.

Then, I stumbled upon a forum where people were discussing this exact clue. They were throwing around words like “vivarium” and “terrarium.”
I actually ended up solving the puzzle. The word is not the long one, but the answer is a 3 letter answer that is related to “terrarium”.
I felt so relieved! It’s just a simple word, but it took me on a wild goose chase through the internet. I learned that pet snakes can live in these things called terrariums or vivariums, which are like little glass boxes.
The answer
It’s “VAS”.
Anyway, that’s my story about trying to solve a crossword clue about pet snake homes. It was a bit of a headache, but I got it in the end, and I even learned something new!
