Baby Snakes
(Published on 7. August 2023, 00:43 by Scruffamudda)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
There are snakes in the grid! Each snake is a one cell wide path of orthogonally connected cells. Snakes must not touch themselves or each other (even diagonally). Each snake contains a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
A digit in a circle or square must show the number of snake cells in the surrounding 9 cells (including itself if it is on a snake). Circles contain odd digits. Squares contain even digits.

Hard, but very satisfying. Had to restart four times as I kept missing possible snake shapes, resulting in wrong coloring and breaking the puzzle.

Beautiful puzzle, but also very challenging, at least for me more than 3 stars. Thanks for setting!
