While the pageants were holding the most attention, there was still some things that were interesting enough to be a distraction.

"Despite what some people might think," said Polly during a show of a Snake Animalian (one who wasn't able to sign up for the Zodiac competitions) doing a belly dance at the Meat Market to a traditional snake charming flute, "the, feral, snake isn't actually 'dancing' to the music, since the music is actually too high for the snake to hear. In actually, it's following the movement of the flute: it would strike if the flute would just stay still."

There were also snake conversions available for half price, though Titanoboa conversions were currently off the cards due to Anka's conversion. It wasn't because she was dangerous or anything. In actuality, Animalia or its colonies just didn't have enough infrastructure for such massive snake Animalians. Not that she was making waves in her own ways. Indeed, a snake Animalian of that size was bound to make waves in all kinds of ways.

Another funny thing that was going on was the fact that, in some cultures, snakes were seen as objects/aspects of fertility. This caused some people on the website to create completely fictional sex cults based on the serpent. While almost all of them were completely fake (and solely created to make people laugh), there were still those who would fall for it hook, line, and sinker, and their so-called "moral outrage" would just make the whole thing even funnier.
