# Snake Skins

Skins are purely cosmetic — they change your snake's appearance without affecting gameplay.

## Free Starter Skins (Everyone)

* **SOL VIPER** — purple/gold Solana-themed
* **TOXIC** — neon green
* **SHADOW** — dark stealth
* **LAVA SNAKE** — orange/red

## Market Skins (Purchase Required)

Examples (full list in the MARKET app):

* **BTC SERPENT** — Bitcoin gold
* **ETHEREAL** — Ethereum blue
* **DOGE SNEK** — Doge meme
* **PEPE SNAKE** — Pepe green
* **BONK** — Bonk-themed
* **CYBER SNAKE** — neon cyberpunk
* **DIAMOND SNAKE** — diamond gradient
* **GOLD SERPENT** — premium gold
* **WIF SNAKE** — WIF-themed

## Equipping a Skin

1. Open **LOCKER** (key 9)
2. Go to **SKIN** tab
3. Tap a skin you own → EQUIP
4. The change is instant — your next game will use it
5. Server persists your choice; switches sync across sessions

## BETA Testers

If you're a closed-beta OG, every market skin is granted to you for free during beta. At public launch, these grants are wiped — in exchange you get 3 free market items of your choice. The permanent **BETA badge** stays on your profile forever.
