UBIQUITOUS ? Enjoy helmet snakes spawning in the local volcano then. Or better, in murky pools, a.k.a. the new carp.

The badgers, the snakes...

You could have said firepower if you were referring specifically to dragons.

Yes. Then it's even punnier and a slightly more obvious reference.

Replace vermin by megabeasts ! Enjoy the view of your food stockpile being swarmed by 10 dragons and the particularly badass sight of a bronze colossus getting out of the magma sea to attack your fortress.

I've always wanted a helmet snake farm, but I never seem to be able to catch more than one snake.  If you DO manage to get a breeding pair, be sure to build them nesting boxes, because they are egg layers and that's how they breed apparently.  Good luck!

after making helmet snakes just [PET] rather than an exotic, and giving my dwarves the ability to use any pet race (stolen from the elves), i have the option for them at embark nearly every world i create.

once you do get a breeding pair, you have to do a tiny bit of micromanaging, making sure to forbid their eggs once in the nest box or they'll be shipped off to be used as food. unless, of course, you specify food stockpiles to not include eggs, or just helmet snake eggs (learned that the hard way with my beak dog breeding program...)

I'm going to do it too, for my next world  :)
