Help Needed, Snaky

[woodwardiocom]

-I need URLs with pictures of green, patterned, pretty snakes. This, for example, fits everything but the "patterned" requirement. Heck, I'll settle for pointers to snakes that are just pretty and green, but those two requirements are steadfast.

(Am working on the art notes for Banestorm. Began the current section by saying, "If we don't get spectacular art for the racial templates section, I am gonna go postal, promise.")

(Okay, I actually began with, "Try to make half of the characters female." I want to double my royalties, yes indeed.)

their actual snake is greener than she shows in the pic, though she's still a brown/green, not a bright green. But she's definitely pretty.

There are several much brighter green snakes here:

Perhaps if you know someone with a DVD of Soldier, you could vidcap the snakes from it?

-Ah, poifect! I'll use http://www.newenglandreptile.com/ball_greenhead.html for the pattern, and http://www.herpnet.net/Iowa-Herpetology/reptiles/snakes/smooth_green_snake.html for the color. Gratzi beaucoup.

Make 2/3rds of the characters female and at least half of them attractive and an overlapping half bad@$$. Make at least half the male characters attractive. Now, you've garnered the Heterosexual Male interest, the Hetereosexual Female interest (both "inclusion" and "eye candy"), and the Lesbian interest ("inclusion and eye candy"). Alas, the Gay Male interest goes lacking here, so perhaps fifty-fifty split is better after all.

Snakes, eh?

http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakepix/snakepix1.htm (the one I was looking at is small, though, and the link to larger picture doesn't work, darnit)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/aestivus3.jpg (not patterned, but very pretty, I think)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/aestivus1.jpg (ditto)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/cyrtopsis2.jpg (more of a yellow/brown/olive stripy patterning)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/wribbon1.jpg (Dark green and yellow striping)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/sipedon1.jpg (green and yellow zebra striping, essentially) I think it's a northern water snake. There are a couple more like him at http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakepix/snakepix4.htm .

http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/bull7.jpg (another of the black/yellow/olive fellows)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/snakes/yellowrat1.jpg (sort of a green-tinted gold, but very pretty! The scales shine like gems or gold.)
http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/Venomous/schlegeli.jpg (the patterning is the way the scales work; nifty! Also very green.)

As an aside, http://spongebob.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mike/lobby.html#Harmless%20Snakes has a usage policy thing. Up to your conscience whether "like this!" URL references counts. O;>

http://www.cnn.com/interactive/space/0209/gallery.critters/content.3.html (says it's brown, but looks olive green to me, with some patterning)
http://www.bome.com/Restorator/help/tutorials/snake.jpg (bright green, large, light-green patterning on it; head looks rather draconic)
http://www.plokta.com/plokta/issue24/snake.jpg (not much green, probably, but it's hatching! The cute!)
http://chemistry.org/portal/resources/ACS/ACSContent/wondernet/images/snake.jpg (green with yellow spotting)
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~vern/fletcher/SNAKE_1.GIF (Green with weird blue patterning; may be photoshoppy)
http://www.nickgordon.com/gallery/pages/Parrot-snake.htm (GREEN! With some faint blueish striping)
http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/chf/pub/surveyreports/mar-apr99/snake.gif (mostly just green, but the highlighting of the scales is sort of patterny)
