You know, your snakes look excellent, but somehow on my screen they seem
to have a flattish look, like a tape. I think it is the ','s near the
spine that are causing the 2-D look on the uppaer side of the bar. At the
bottom, I can't figure it out, though the  '__/' construct seems to
have a bearing on the overall look on the lower side of the bar.

You can probably see that the flatness is much more pronounced in the 
second figure - the snake looks like a strip of paper wrapped around the
spine. All said and done, Cleopatra would probably have loved to be 
buzzed by these - on an "asp is where is " basis
