Nope.

But you are right in thinking that the snake is literal.... :)

Percival was the Arthurian romance

the bear has already tried to fit a snake into Percival... no special luck so far

except it contains all the letters that spell "viper"

which leaves LAC - Legal Action Center?

But since bears don't know shit about hubcaps (hardly know what they are, in fact), I am afraid that's all I can come up with

P.S. As far as bears can see, Percival also makes "evil carp"... which doesn't make much sense in relation to hubcaps, either (neither does "live carp")

Who was Percival's romance with?

It wasn't that kind of romance. It can also mean a novel dealing with idealized events remote from everyday life.

It's NOT Percival.

No one has gotten it yet.

Also there is no anagramming taking place here, so forget about that.

Yeah, I was afraid of that....

Anyway, I hope this one is sufficiently challenging as to be interesting, but not so hard that no one can get it....

snake who is on the right side of the law, King?

No.... I'm not quite sure how you got that....

Anyway, hint on Clue #3: the answer is TWO words, not just one....

No, I'm thinking of a specific title. HINT: Think EARLIEST....

But "spinner" should help your thoughts turn toward what I'm looking for....
