AN UNOFFICIAL EXPLANATION ON LOSING SNAKES

both times ive sent lisa to the other springfield it showed 20 snakes available.. i prefe to use this avenue as opposed to raiding friends.. Kind of like when i wouldnt steal thier lemon or orange trees either..

Why does everyone think Lisa takes 5 snakes, the reward is 3 snakes- she never ever takes 5 from a town at once.

Lisa is not stealing. She sets snakes free. Free to be tapped again. So they are not gone. I tested this a litte bit earlier.

That does make sense because when I went in to my town this morning, I was inundated with snakes, which is probably the right amount of snakes that were taken from me or set free, whichever. So does this mean we rely solely on the eggs from friends to get more snakes, or does the game also give you extra on top of what you get back as this would mean we're All gonna be stuck in a loophole without the ability to gain if we don't.

I also haven't had 120 snakes given back to me yet, so this process could be slow.

I've linked your thread in also, so people can see it.

I could swear it was 5. I'll have to double check when she finishes her task.

Bump.

Check the Simpsons house, she's in there. Mine definitely says 3.
But then Peter says it's 5. :?: Is the number of snakes boosted like Xp?

Aaah, it all makes sense now Lisa's task is to set to let 5 snakes go free and for doing so she is rewarded with 3 snakes. So it is 5 you lose but you get 3 for doing the task. Boy I was so confused.

There is definitely a glitch...I had only the snakes from the initial snake release... probably a little over 50 and when I came back from visiting other towns they were gone. So I collected 3 more and reset my game and had 1 snake left...

It's 3.

You get 5 snakes for the 12 hr tasks (Willie/Cletus)
And 10 snakes for the 24 hr tasks (Homer/Ned)

In a way this makes sense. Lisa releases snakes, so your count goes down. But then you can just whack them again (which is what happened to me).

It's not unusual to lose a chunk of them, even all of them but I would get a definite number of how many you lost and report it to EA. I've sent a request to EA to explain how this Snake task is meant to work. I'll post their response here once I've got it.
