It's well done, but I'm having trouble believing this is your pet. *sigh* It looks like it's from a zoo... Also, I would have liked to have seen the other eye to make this better.
aggghhhh I'm snake-phobic. I have scrolled down and Im not looking at your picture but from what I saw, the composition was pretty good and the lighting as well. Im just gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and give you a 7.
Thanks for the nightmares =D
