      In wc when you get down too where the crocks are, you can go right or left. Too the right are the main way. But first you go left. There it is Serpents and Lord Cobrahn is there. After that you go right for the rest of the bosses...
      So if you go left you should meet a Serpent.

      When you enter WC you will first encounter several raptors, a single one and then two groups of two. After this the narrow cave you are in opens up into a large cavern. Directly ahead of you, past a couple more raptors and a roaming nelf druid is a narrow gulley with crocs and a roaming ooze or two. Go down into the gulley and turn left. You will kill several more crocs and then the gulley turns right and rises a bit. That is where you begin to encounter the serpents. They typically dont travel in groups, so it should be a pretty easy matter to tame one. Happy hunting.

    The serpent pets are found in 3 places in the game so far.  These places are Wailing Caverns, Zul'Farak, and Zul'Gurub.  In the wailing caverns, a full run guarantees you to run into one.  If you don't want to do a full run, after you run into the first big room, jump down into the river and head north through the tunnel.  You should encounter a few.  The minimum level of these are level 19.  The snakes in Zul'Farak  are mid 40 level, and they appear by the last boss (discluding the hydra).  I don't remember his name, but the one who drops embrace of the lycan.  Finally, there are snakes in Zul'Gurub that are hard to tame but not impossible.  You might want to grab one of these because they are the only source of Poison Shot Rank 3.

      My wife and I got one for her last night. This is easily done without dying if you bring a mage with you. I am a fire spec mage and it still worked fine but a frost mage would make this super ez mode. There are two snakes on your right as soon as you enter the instance. You have your choice of blue or green, have the mage sheep whichever one you want. As soon as the polly hits the hunter can start to tame, the snake should stay pollied the whole time so the hunter won't even be touched. As for the other snake, he will aggro on the mage so just frost nova him and blink away, you'll have to kite him around until your frost nova's cooldown is up. Nova him again and by this time the hunter will have his snake and you both can run for the door. One bit of causion (I learned the hard way) there are some warriors near the snakes so when you are kiting don't make a wide circle near them or they will hit you with a ranged attack, we had her snake and they killed me two feet from the instance exit with bows. Very cool pet and very easy to get, frost mages with the improved slow effect can kite them very easily for you.

    dont get me wrong im not hating on serpents, but they really can be a pain especially in pvp. most good hunters know to set and ice trap if they wanna get away from a situation in pvp, but the dot spit breaks this and can be a real pain. i suggest putting the spit on manual (right-click) instead of automatic. I think that boars may be a better choice tho. Serpents are cool and are nice in solo/ raid situations bcuz of the dot but not so much pvp.

    ok, heres how i did it solo with my lvl 23 NE hunter, enter the wailing caverns instance WITH OUT a pet, tame the 1st raptor as you get in, start clearing all of the raptors and ectos as you go down the path, once you reach the bones, you'll see 2 raptors standinng there, give it a little while and a druid and another raptor will walk by, pull the raptors back to the bones one by one, if you pull both don't worry, after they are dead, go down the slope to the LEFT, whipe the crocs up to the big room, clear the middle, now abandon your pet, wait for the snake to start walking down the slope, set a freezing trap, if you are too low level, which you shouldn't be since the snakes are 20-24ish, dont worry as the snake will not do enough damage to you to kill you, once you tame him you can leave. If you are not confidant enough to solo this, ask a higher level to help or ask the group to let you tame one. my snake is a very good anti caster, I dueled a 26 lock who tried to fear either my snake or me, but he died before he could get it off.

        So far, if you put your snake's poison spit ability on *autocast,* the snake is going to stand 30 yd away from the target and poison spit it until it is out of focus.  This explains any problems you may have with multiple poison spits and slowness.  I don't think this is really intended, and I'm sure it's going to be changed in the future to make the serpent only poison spit a target that already doesn't have the poison on them.  However, for now, just take poison spit off autocast and manually cast it during battles.  It's nothing hard to do, and it stops him from spending all of his focus for nothing and not being able to growl.

        I've killed w/ my serpent prolly 50 Dragonspawns in the Burning Steppes & 100 or so undead in EPL & he is still on "Loyalty Level 1" Rebellious. I keep his happy level at green all the time. At this level I have -25 training points on him. I thought the general rule when it came to pets you tame at level 60 is just kill stuff that they would normally get XP for & through that they increase loyalty, which in turn grants us training points?

        I know it's been a awhile since I've tamed a new pet... so I am prolly forgetting something crucial. If so pls let know ;)

        15 mins after the above question...
        Ahhhh... BEAST TRAINING from the Spellbook General tab. I was thinking I needed to get his points up & then go see a trainer. I told you it had been awhile since I tamed a new pet ;) Once I taught him Growl 7 he gained level 2 loyalty on the next kill!

          Shut up, you're annoying. Serpents are very good pets when you're BM spec, and with Beastial Wrath active, he crits almost every other attack. While he doesn't out-DPS Cats, Ravager, ans such, he's actually a great tank. He keeps great aggro, and I can solo most elite enemies that I had a load of difficulty with when I was Marksmanship. I highly recommend him as a main Beast Mastery pet. Good luck with taming. I also have a 70 Marksmanship Draenei HUnter on Detheroc, so if anyone needs a run through Zul'Farrak or Sunken Temple for their very own serpent, just whisper me when I'm logged on. Good luck, Tamers! =D
