Didn't gestalt for me until I realized that cubic pair referred to two dice. I was also led down the wrong path by "dangerous reptile", which had me thinking specifically of venomous members of the reptilian suborder Serpentes, like "mambas", "asps", "adders", "vipers", and so on, rather than of the generic noun "snake".
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly. The cubic pair clue gave it away for me as I immediately thought of dice. I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for your comments!
fun!
