Should I leave him in for longer?

[Seneschal]

I say leave him in, or try again later. Took my boy a couple tries to find the right end--he literally spent an hour or so chasing her around the cage trying to lock with her head one evening! Next morning though, he had it all figured out.

I think your boy can do it! Pretty snakes by the way. I like Rowan's flaming and patterns. Good luck!
