In short, I'm stuck. Help appreciated.
This one vexed me for a while. You'd think solving Ssslitherin Expert would prepare you for a puzzle like this...oh, wait, it actually did. (That was my thought process after a while.)

It's kind of hard to construct a picture of what you need to do, but let me try anyway.

By which I mean:
First I created a small loop at the top, then led the snake around to form an enclosed area with diagonal access in the lower left corner. Then lead the snake out and back in and hide in the enclosed area.
The arrows are an attempt to show the direction the snake traveled along that path.
Once I hit upon the solution, it still took me several tries to get it right.
