  Weaknesses:

(-)Proprietary: Like all GenPals animals, SnuggleSneks ™ require GenPal brand food to remain healthy and within warranty. GenPals animals fed non-branded food will eventually weaken and possibly die, as they are engineered with certain nutrition needs only their proprietary blend contains in the right ratios.

• 
  General behavior: SnuggleSneks ™ live up to their name. These affectionate little reptiles bond quickly with their owners, liking nothing more than to take turns exploring their surroundings and then returning for a snuggle. Curious and friendly, SnuggleSneks ™ can sometimes get their noses into trouble- getting stuck in an unattended sleeve or behind a warm lamp (while they aren’t cold blooded, they still like to cozy up in warm places). Bored, lonely SnuggleSneks ™ can get sullen and antisocial, often turning their noses up if ignored for too long. Offer lots of interesting places to explore and regular affection to keep your new pet happy.
  

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
SnuggleSneks ™ were an accidental success for the GenPals company. A small vanity project by one of their scientists, the creatures were a delight from the beginning. The genetic coding built from scratch from wide range of creatures (mostly reptilian with an odd dash of avian no one could remember from which species) from their growing database, SnuggleSneks ™ were warm blooded reptiles with an affectionate and relaxed attitude and a propensity to end up in unlikely places.
