Snakes, Why Does it Always Have to be Snakes?

Anyone else having an extremely difficult time winning at Gobbler Drop in the pet pavilion with any snake/serpent pet? I find it hard to judge the "body" of the snake for where the food is dropping. It is not the head of the snake, but rather the area directly behind it's head. Two and Four legged animals are much easier to judge.

I'm starting to not like them just as much as Indy.

I always line up the pet shadow with the shadow of the drop. That tends to work for me.

Agreed, try to work around the flaw in the graphics and make use of the shadow. Also jump under the food coming down and wiggle left and right. You can catch the food easier.

Thanks for the tips! I had shadows turned off on my settings and putting them back on is a world of difference. Try doing the Gobbler Drop with shadows off and with a serpent, that ranks right up there with Waterworks solo in terms of difficulty!!
