* ButtMonkey: Spear does not have a fun time in this episode. He is repeatedly deprived of food by Fang, gets an upset stomach from the one grub he does manage to eat, has his spear broken when violence breaks out between them, and when both he and Fang fall down the waterfall, he ends up hitting several rocks on the way down while the much larger ''T. rex'' lands in the water without issue.

* VegetarianCarnivore: Fang is shown eating fruit at one point. This is actually TruthInTelevision as many carnivorous animals will supplement their diets with fruit as it's easier to digest than most other forms of plant matter and contains nutrients that they'd have a hard time finding elsewhere.

This is actually TruthInTelevision as many carnivorous animals will supplement their diets with fruit as it's easier to digest than most other forms of plant matter and contains nutrients that they'd have a hard time finding elsewhere. In fact, carnivory, omnivory, and herbivory are generally more of a spectrum than a strict trinary.

While hunting wild boars, Fang consistently bogarts any food she and Spear come across, causing Spear to grow increasingly agitated at her. Eventually Spear snaps and attacks Fang, losing his spear in the process, but their fight is interrupted when they wander into a den of large snakes. A flash flood rushes them and the snakes into a swampy river, where they get attacked by a giant snake (likely a ''Titanoboa''). Fang kills the giant snake, but despite working together to stay afloat, the two fall down a waterfall, causing Spear to hit his head on the way down. Fang pulls Spear from the water, and as Spear comes to, Fang fetches Spear's lost spearhead. They reconcile and continue their journey together, now hunting food as a team.

* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Halfway into the episode, Spear entertains himself with some shadow puppetry while thinking of his children. [[MoodWhiplash Sadly, it turns into a nightmare flashback of a dinosaur eating the children]].
* AnimalsNotToScale: ZigZagged with with the large snake in the second episode which is about the correct length for the extinct species ''Titanoboa'', but its width makes it much bigger than the ancient snake, considering Fang bites onto it and only seems able to grab about a third of its neck.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The snakes appear to be ''Titanoboa'' due to their size, but they have fangs similar to a venomous snake. And yet, they seem to be non-venomous like the real ''Titanoboa''.
* BehemothBattle: The underwater fight between Fang and the largest snake.
* InevitableWaterfall: While struggling against a flood filled with horde of snakes in the second episode, Spear quickly sees a waterfall with much sharp rocks at the bottom.
* KillSteal: This trope drives the conflict of the episode. Spear and Fang try to hunt together, but each time they find prey, the ''Tyrannosaurus'' takes all of it, leaving nothing for the caveman. For example, when Spear successfully kills a warthog by throwing his spear, the dinosaur gets there first and eats the warthog whole before the caveman can get a piece of it. Initially it's PlayedForLaughs, but soon it turns more serious and almost drives the duo apart.
* OhCrap: Both Spear and Fang sport a look that personifies this when they see a ''wall of giant snakes'' right next to where they are fighting.
* RealityEnsues: Spear's attempts at using a snake's body to hold him and Fang atop a waterfall quickly fails due to Fang's heavy weight pulling Spear's grip off the body.
* SnakesAreSinister: As the episode title suggests, giant snakes (likely ''Titanoboa'') play a prominent role in the climax of the episode.
