1. I think we're supposed to believe that she's a snake, but I can't think of any species of snake that can spit whatever the heck she spat in Raph's face or shapeshift.

2. In addition I didn't exactly want her to mutate at all. I don't mind that she did, but it just surprises me that they would do that to a long standing and beloved character from the franchise. Not a bad thing, just wasn't expecting it. 1. That stuff that she spat into Raph's face was venom. There are a good number of venomous snakes, and I'm pretty sure some of them can spit the venom, usually to blind enemies. The shapeshifting part was very likely just because she's a mutant snake, maybe Stockman's mishap with the chemicals also contributed...

2. That's exactly what I thought. Well, at least the plot just got an interesting twist. :P
