   Buffy Memories: Clare Kramer Looks Back at On-Set Snake Scare   
   By Vlada Gelman   
      
   Buffy the Vampire Slayer successfully battled a snake-like monster during   
   the Mayor’s Season 3 finale ascension, but another serpent almost got the   
   better of leading lady Sarah Michelle Gellar and co-star Clare Kramer.   
      
   During the Season 5 episode “Shadow,” Buffy and her nemesis Glory (Kramer)   
   faced off inside a cobra exhibit at the Sunnydale Zoo, and the set was   
   populated with real, slippery snakes for the shoot.   
      
   “They were like, ‘Yeah, yeah, the snakes are fine,'” recalls Kramer, who   
   recently wrapped directing her first documentary, Joyrider. “And then all of   
   a sudden, [executive producer] Joss [Whedon] is like, ‘Um, Sarah, Clare, you   
   guys might want to get up on the chair. We have lost the 9-foot boa   
   constrictor.’ And we’re like, ‘Are you kidding?'”   
      
   Turns out, the creature   had slithered “its way up into the wall,” Kramer   
   shares. “They ended up having to deconstruct the set while we sat on our   
   directors’ chairs, with our legs tucked under our tushies, waiting for the   
   snake to be recaptured.”   
      
   “During this process, they were like, ‘Don’t worry, it ate a couple days   
   ago,'” Kramer continues. “I was like, ‘Ate a couple days ago?! What are   
   you   
   talking about?! I can see that snake, just waiting to constrict me!'” (The   
   snake was eventually found. Phew!)   
      
   Despite the snake snafu, Kramer has nothing but fond memories of her time as   
   the god Glorificus and her snappy one-liners. “The dialogue was so amazing   
   in that series, and I could just play and sort of riff and have fun with the   
   dialogue,” the actress says. “It just was a very freeing experience.”
