     Looking good Tim! You could try the attached image as a bump_map. This 
is what I used on my Orobous snake.

     texture {your texture/pigment}

      normal {
      bump_map {
         jpeg "snake_tex4.jpg"
         bump_size 1
         interpolate 2
        map_type 3}
        scale .47   rotate <0, 40, 0>}
        finish {ambient  -.055 phong .5 }}

       You may want to UV map the head or the body so as to be able to 
distinguish between them in your final image - the heads of snakes tend to 
have larger scaly patterns above the eyes and down to the nostrils.
