I'm having trouble with the western side. After I reach (9,7), I'm left with a serpent of length 3, which is not enough (I need leverage from it twice more to get into the southern eye's alcove and then one final time to finish the room). If I try letting it past me while I'm on the PP, it gets into a stable clockwise cycle and becomes useless.
Is there a way to get past the pressure plate and still have a serpent of length 4? Am I missing something else?

I'm having the same problem. I can go past the south zone and kill the middle eye but this kill the snake in the process.
Now if I want to kill the last eye at (22,6) I guess I would still need the snake (the smallest possible) to push the mimic north one last time.
Is there a trick in the PP zone to not let the snake shorten to much ?
