The answers to today's Strands, game #516, are ADDER PYTHON COBRA MAMBA VIPER 
ANACONDA RATTLER SPANGRAM: SERPENT My rating: Hard My score: 1 hint 

I was expecting the spangram to spell out snake, but that would be too

Despite knowing what we were searching for, I struggled to find a SERPENT  
but did locate plenty of non-game words, so I took a hint to get me going. 
ADDER set me off and from there I slithered to glory. 

That said, I did tap out rattle instead of RATTLER about three times before 
adding the R once there was no other option. Yesterday's NYT Strands answers
