The reasoning to follow is this: the snake(s) has to be 1x25 or 5x5 or 25x1. After a few tries you can easily exclude the 1x25 and 25x1 options, leaving 5x5 the only possible option.
Can anyone build a more difficult puzzle on the same idea?

Of course, when you sum 11+11+3 to get 23, you get very confused very quickly when a single snake does not fit in the board.
