all that its in the game codes and its true

i've literally watched them despawn in front of me. i've also had two spawn almost on top of one another despite their 50 meter suppression. i say mark your map. i've been able to reliably farm serpents in those areas where they have previously spawned.

I did not see them desapwn, but yes, they definitly despawn~. Happens a few times to me. Watched the entire area for them as i came back, but nope, gone~.
