Bomb snake

A Bomb Snake is a long, 3x1x1 Hostile Mob that spawns in Deserts at night. They are an effectively renewable source of some Bomb types, but are quite the rare sighting to kill.

Dealing with Them
Unlike Creepers, Bomb Snakes do not blow up when you get too close always. The Mob does take it's time, but some methods of killing Creepers (hit-retreat, and forcing the Mob into Water currents) still work against Bomb Snakes. All Bombs dropped by Bomb Snakes are either Stone, or rarely Iron. Take into mind that there are only 2 ways of knowing what bomb type a Bomb Snake is, and they are either killing it before it blows up, or letting it blow up.

When the Bomb Snake is low enough on health to try and explode, it has no delay unlike a Creeper. it explodes immediately when you are within 3 blocks of it. Thus, using a Bow and Arrow, like any other Creeper, is ideal for killing it and taking the precious bomb.
