Good feats for Snake (Constrictor) Animal Companion

[Ill_Made_Knight]

The title says it all, any ideas for feats. This is PFS so no wonky stuff and it only has an int of 1...

Well, without raising the snake's Int to at least 3, you're restricted to only those feats listed under the Feats section on the Animal Companions page.

Of those, the ones that seem best to me are Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (bite), Improved Natural Attack (bite), Improved Natural Armor, and maybe Stealthy.

I would suggest, however, that you use the ability score increases at 4th and 9th level to raise it to an Int of 3, so that then you can take feats like Final Embrace and the others in that feat list.

Power Attack and Weapon Focus seem like no-brainers. I bet you'd get some raised eyebrows over Armor Proficiency, though; do they make armor shaped like a tube sock?

The problem with the final embrace feat line is it is defunct, you need ability focus (constrict), [which is a feat you do not have access to in PFS] to get the second one and the first one gives you no benefit since the bestiary errata.

So I just figured out how to raise its intelegenace to 3. What are some feats that I could use for the snake?
