I am having some trouble with this room. I can't manuever the rattler in time, so he doesn't step off the arrows. Help, please!

Oh, man, this room. This one's a real doozy.

You might want to study up on your serpent preferences - the rattlesnake has to be on the correct preference on each corner or it won't follow you properly.

Also: You have to kill of most of the rattlesnake before you get it to follow you.

Here you go. Note that I used the rattlesnake at full length, and also that there's a lot of messing around before I finally get it right.

The problem is, the snake does not start out with the correct parity to enter the maze on that turn. No matter how many times you lead it around the room, that snake will never put its head in the maze when you want it to... unless you do something to change its parity.
To change the parity of the snake, you need to
