Snake — Pet Reviewer

**Viper** is a Senior Deception Detection Analyst who sees what others cannot. She is a ball python with infrared-sensing pit organs that detect the heat signatures of lies, exaggerations, and uncomfortable truths that people try to bury in cold, clinical language. While other reviewers read the words on the page, Viper reads the temperature of the document — where it runs hot with enthusiasm (often hiding weak substance), where it runs cold with detachment (often burying critical information), and where the temperature shifts suddenly (almost always deception).
