Is your ex a snake? It might be time to make that title official.

We’ve all got an ex who we happily brand a snake on a daily basis.

But if you think giving your ex the title over a couple of glasses of wine with your friends isn’t enough, you can now take your hatred one step further.

The Wild Life Sydney Zoo has a new brown snake in their possession, and it’s looking for a name.

The brown snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, making the gesture even more fitting.

The zoo took to Instagram to announce a competition which allows you to enter your ex’s name into a draw of names for the snake.

Not only will you be getting the ultimate revenge, but you’ll also be donating $1 to the Wildlife Conservation Fund by entering.

The competition ends February 13 and you can enter here.

Posting a picture of the evil-looking brown snake on their Instagram page, the zoo wrote: “Name a snake after your ex this Valentine's Day!
