Snakes have time for crow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boast

'for crow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'snakes have time' is the wordplay.
'snakes' becomes 'boas' (boa is a kind of snake).
'have' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'boas'+'t'='BOAST'

(Other definitions for boast that I've seen before include "Talk conceitedly" , "Show off" , "Crow, brag" , "Talk big" , "Talk with self-pride" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
