Fire snakes are fire-proof vermin. They spawn only around magma sites, which are defined as the original biomes, not channels that carry magma away from magma pipes or magma pools. They may start fires, so don't locate booze (or coal or graphite) stockpiles near magma (or passages leading to magma) unless you have ample cats.

Fire snakes may be safely caught in built wooden animal traps, though attempting to capture a live fire snake from a kennel will fail (with "live fire snake has burned its way out of confinement!") if a metal trap is not used.

Liquid fire is an extract derived from fire snakes at a butcher's shop by a dwarf with the animal dissector labor enabled. It has no known use except as a trade good, worth 100☼ per vial. A glass vial is required.
