They seem to have a kind of sixth sense in this way. The fatal flaw in their character is, in fact, a tendency to exaggerate – in helping friends as with everything else. If they do somebody a favour, they become possessive towards them in an odd way. Another big flaw in a Snake’s character is that, they are capable of biggie lies. White lies, true lies, whatever they call them, though they don’t lie often, they do lie when they feel they can get away from it. Generally, Snakes are careful but generous with friends and family.
