Cool snakes, and indeed suited to the Gorgonares.
I've also been looking at snakes for the scales on my Dyndraigs.
I picked this one for the bright oranges, with reds and purples to go with it.
Gives a nice "hot" impression.

What the hell is that last one? It looks like it was caught in an explosion in a glow stick factory.
I'm guessing Mierce wouldn't want a similar thread for Melusines

That last one is an African Red Phase Bush Viper, according to TinEye and Google. They're pretty rare.
The saturation on the colours in the picture is a good deal higher than in real life though, it's not as bright normally.
Someone touched up this photo to make it pop, the real version is still a gorgeous red and orange though.
Here's a link to the non-napalm lit version:

And a Melusines reference picture thread is most certainly off-limits.

Shame that the snake isn't actually those colours, I think it'd be the ultimate pet for Cybergoths everywhere. I think yellow/black is how I'm painting my mates Gorgonares if he can't get over his ophidiophobia to paint them himself.

Yes, I can see people going buts with colour schemes on the Gorgonars - mother nature has so much inspiration to choose from.
Vilthiss and co are based on a viper in the concept.

@grefven - That is a gorgeous constrictor!
@Tim - ... and that's why I started looking at the various bush vipers... great coloration while sticking with the form of the sculpts...

How cool isn't this piece?
The scales of the snake looks great.
