I've got the older version saved as well, of course, so I'll look where 
I end up.

Sure, a grain of salt is the way I take just about all comments and 
suggestions, no worries. :-) But you're right, that's why I was thinking 
about adding another part of the on-top snake to follow the front part 
of the below-snake. I'm also thinking about an attempt to just keep the 
heads, but have the on-top snake curve along the current below-snake 
pose... I wasn't too satisfied with the first pose, like I said, I felt 
it too much of an asymmetry, the new one lacks a little of the closeness 
you mention. But it's a WIP, so things will/may/should still change. :-D

Tim
