11ac: sound of a snake with a piece of orange made by person in test (5,6,3).

?u?a? g?i?e? p?g

Think the answer must be "human guinea pig".Have learned that a sement of orange can be called a pig, but am mystified by the "sound of a snake".

Many thanks - all is explained.
Kayakamina, how can I guarantee the search facility will locate a particular clue? I usually end up scrolling down 25 pages or so - must have missed the earlier person who had already posed my question! Pardon my unfamiliarity with site.

If it's any help poteen I type the clue into the search engine making sure I change 'web' to 'site' and it will come up if it's already been posted.

poteen after you have composed your question and pressed submit , you are asked to check before confirming you're intention of submitting whether any on the answers shown below cover your question.
As you would have typed in 'Guardian 24367 Araucaria' my posting on Saturday would have popped up and saved you all the time you have now expended.

I'm just trying to help and not making a criricism.
