Constrictors tend to be larger than most varieties of snakes in girth and length, while some venomous snakes can reach lengths exceeding ten feet. Even though many snakes are kept as pets, they are rarely kept as animal ghouls for long periods of time due to their speed and unpredictability.","While no one knows for certain, it is commonly believed that Setites are the only Clan that frequently seeks, maintains, and trains larger varieties of snakes. Members of the {@clan Nosferatu|V20} and {@clan Malkavian|V20} Clans, however, are thought to keep smaller-sized snakes as pets. Generally, however, vampires will choose species that are either available or indigenous to their area. For example, if a Setite crossed paths with a poisonous Egyptian asp, she would likely consider the animal to be a gift from Set Himself.","The stats for snakes will vary based on their size and species. Most breeds do not grow, even in captivity, beyond a certain length. A snake’s blood points are calculated at a rate of 1/4 blood point per foot in length. Thus, a twelve-foot-long boa constrictor would contain three blood points. A common garden snake, that’s less than a foot long, would have 1/4 blood point, while a four-foot-long king snake would have one.",{"type":"header","level":4,"text":"Constrictor Snakes"},"Attributes: {@attribute Strength|V20} 3, {@attribute Dexterity|V20} 2, {@attribute Stamina|V20} 2, {@attribute Perception|V20} 2, {@attribute Intelligence|V20} 3, {@attribute Wits|V20} 2","Abilities: {@ability Alertness|V20} 2, {@ability Athletics|V20} 3, {@ability Stealth|V20} 3","Disciplines: {@discipline Fortitude|V20} 1","Willpower: 4","Health Levels: OK, -1, -1, -2, -5, Incapacitated","Armor rating: 1 (three soak dice, total)"],"_qa":{"flags":["no_attributes"],"parser":"stat_block","confidence":0.9,"extracted":"2026-10-12","job":"gar-ghouls"},"_links":{"self":"/api/v1/records/vampire/creature/ghoul/snakes","html":"/records/vampire/creature/ghoul/snakes","parent":null,"children":"/api/v1/records/vampire/creature/ghoul/snakes/children","sources":[{"abbr":"GaR","page":176,"folio":176,"title":"Ghouls & Revenants"}]},"_db":{"title":"Snakes","props":[],"parent_id":null,"level":null,"category":null,"summary":"Snakes, like birds, cats, and dogs, come in a variety of sizes and species ranging from the harmless garden snake to the life-threatening boa constrictor.
