Regal killer has right implement lying around (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asprawl

'lying around' is the definition.
(sprawled on the ground)

'regal killer has right implement' is the wordplay.
'regal killer' becomes 'asp' (an asp killed the Egyptian queen Cleopatra).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'implement' becomes 'awl' (awl is a kind of implement).
'asp'+'r'+'awl'='ASPRAWL'

(Another definition for asprawl that I've seen is " Sitting untidily".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
