Last room on the level, and I'm at a loss. Demo?
A demo is attached. It is pitifully inefficient, the juicy part doesn't start until turn 200 or so. The idea is this:

×You want to step on the middle pressure plate but as soon as you do the eye steps off it's pressure plate trapping you right? It would be nice if you could get the eye off its pressure plate before or after you step on the one in the middle. I got the eye off its plate exactly one turn before I stepped on the middle plate. How?

×I stepped on from the SE. The eye was already awake, but trapped by the serpent. The serpent needs to be blocking the eye to the west and south for this to work, so serpent manipulation is key:
I brought the snake down the wast side of the eye then turned him east and back up a notch.

There is a way to force a snake to turn north when you are to the south of it. You can watch the demo, but it relies on the fact that a snake will always prefer North when it can't make the move it wants to. Since the snake wanted to go West to follow me (it was on horizontal preference) but was blocked by its own body, it turned north instead.
I hope this helps!
