Well, it's kind of still up in the air. I have a few ideas I am trying to decide between, but nothing is set, well, cast in stone yet.  Snakes I'm currently considering for the next sculpt: *California Kingsnake / Cornsnake (they really are similar enough biologically it'll probably be the same sculpt) - probably a yearling sized snake, not a baby, not adult size. There are SO many beautiful colorations of both snakes that I think it would be fun to paint them all. (Plus, my own little Beetlejuice keeps looking at me like he's jealous that Ivy's gotten sculpted but not him, lol).
*Baby Hatching Ball Python- what can I say, these guys hold a special spot for me in my heart. I'd like to do a life-size hatchling, just pipping his shell and exploring. I've seen so many photos of these babies, and they are so adorable! (I would look into having a tongue sticking out of his mouth, too, sniffing the air)
*King Cobra or Spectacled Cobra- both are very recognizable. I would need to decide if I want it open mouthed or closed. Open obviously poses more problems molding.
*Full-size Ball Python- I would love to make a gigantic coiled one in outdoor ceramic, but I'm still looking into paints and sealants that are fade and weatherproof.
*Rattlesnake- I used to have a stuffed pair of these from the days my dad did taxidermy, but sadly no longer have them. This is another one I would have to decide open mouthed or not- one needs more attention to molding. I've also been considering quite a few lizards in addition to the snake, but as I said, nothing is really decided yet. I'd love to hear opinions of what people would like next.

Another neat thing, she has the "normal" cornsnake patterning down her back and sides except for the middle third of her body- this area mysteriously switches to the Aztec zig-zag patterning, then returns to the "normal" phase. Neat huh? I'm very excited to see what sort of babies her and Jack would produce.
