My cypher query is put together in python. Using braces {..} inside of [...] is not working so how would one specify parameters inside of [...]?

You can use $name which is the newer syntax of parameters

also the "[r:snake {name:{name}}]" not working will rather be a python issue than a Cypher one.

Thanks, Michael. I think the code (with your corrections) works now or am about to test it.
