Reptile showing love for a voodoo priestess (5)
I believe the answer is:
mambo
'voodoo priestess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mambo that I've seen before include "Quick Caribbean dance" , "voodoo priestess" , "Latin American dance of Haitian origin" , "voodoo woman" , "Dance derived from voodoo rituals" .)
