Matches the files Before the Oct 1 fix, Serpentbloom snakes in Wailing Caverns never despawned. Sodapoppin's earlier run showed snakes covering the stairs all the way through. The Oct 1 notes now make them despawn after a couple of minutes.
The files Oct 1 Dev Notes (30290854), Wailing Caverns: 'Serpentbloom Snakes now despawn after a couple of minutes.' The pre-fix footage is not checkable.

Serpentbloom Snakes now despawn after a couple of minutes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
The files The Oct 2 server hotfix (read from the 70245 client cache) changed Serpentbloom Snake's (6195) duration from unlimited to 2 min (DurationIndex 21 to 4); the client file alone still says unlimited.
