The sidesnagger is a Spartan eater found by Chris Cain in May 2015[1] with functionality similar to the tub-with-tail eater, as shown to the right. It has one lane less diagonal clearance on the high-clearance side than other twit eater variants, due to the presence of the boat. A good use of the sidesnagger can be seen in the p130 shuttle because the twit eater is too fast.
