Walkthrough for yesterday's Pentominous: https://youtu.be/0sYNL8rnlno

I've recently written a lot of snake-ish puzzles for a thing, so when I needed a genre for today's GAPP, Snake is what my mind naturally went to.

Rules: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself, not even diagonally. Black circles must lie on one end of the path. White circles must lie somewhere along the path, but not at an end. A number outside the grid represents how many cells in the corresponding row or column are shaded.
