maybe 'asinine'?

Can't see that working but thank you

I can' thnik of anything else that fits most of your letters?
Where did the 'L' come from? could that be wrong?

The L came from pit viper with noisy tail
5th letter

I'm sorry for the delay in replying, Paulm - I got absorbed in watching the Ladies' doubles' final...and forgot to get back to you
I'm assuming you put 'rattler' or 'rattlesnake ' - you don't say how many letters? - thus giving you the L'?
I'm no nearer an answer ... I hope you've managed to solve it yourself in the interim?
