What you have said is the explanation. An ASP crawls and HALT means to proceed lamely.

Question Author

Rollo:- To me, crawl is on legs like a baby, which a snake/asp does not have, and you don't proceed at all if you halt; a very poor clue, but thanks for your answer.

Catron

crawl, vi to move slowly with the body on or close to the ground

halt
vi to be lame, to limp (); to walk unsteadily; to vacillate; to proceed lamely or imperfectly, to be at fault (eg in logic, rhythm, etc). Both Chambers.

Sorry, nothing wrong with the clue.
