Slithering reptile (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snake

'slithering reptile' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for snake that I've seen before include "Long slender reptile" , "Wind" , "Serpent" , "Asp, perhaps?" , "Chinese zodiac animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday and the LA Times.
