The slinky snake?

Question

Is "sinuoso" the best way to say "slinky"?

Slinky - something that moves slowly, in a way that curves, bends or turns

I'm trying to translate a children's book that says, "the slinky snake".

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sinuosa no es una palabra muy conocida, pero perfecta, quizás también:

zigzagueante

Answer 2

Alma3 - I did a google search by typing in "la culebra sinuosa" and then "la serpiente sinuosa" and found several sites that linked "sinuosa" with each word for "snake", so unless a native speaker suggests another adjective, I think you've got it!

Answer 3

Whether it is the "best" translation, to me it certainly conveys the idea.
