Well, since no one else has asked about this one, I must be missing something obvious. I know that I have to get one of the mud babies down to the bottom so it can move along the passage and kill the snake in the 2x2 room. But in order to do that, the row of mud babies has to stay even as I move down, or the last one will move towards me and miss the passage. But even if I use the rattlesnake to kill all the snakes (which I haven't ever managed to do - I can get down to one short one, but that's it), the rattlesnake is going to block some of the mud babies and make the line uneven. Like I said, I have to be missing something here.

As far as I can tell, there's two main strategies (one much better than the other):

The first way I managed to do it was to wait until all the remaining snakes were out of the way to move the whole line of mud babies down one square. Then repeat. This takes some patience, but it ended up working for me.

The better way is to make use of the line of arrows to get those pesky serpents out of your way
