My daughter asked me what the collective noun for snake eggs was. I assume it's a clutch the same as for birds eggs. Got me thinking what is the collective name for a group of snakes.
Having googled this I discovered
a quiver of cobras (maybe that should more apply to their prey?)
a rhumba of rattlesnakes (presumably dancing to their rattle)
a den, bed, knot, nest, pit or trogle of snakes.
None of the general words really sounded snake like to me - so what would you call a group of snakes
My suggestion - an enchantment of snakes
