The scales have come out well, not always easy when some are black, others white and you ar eusing the inbuilt flash as well. Good job.

A beauty of a snake Kyle. This is very well exposed with good use of fill flash. I would try to darken the brighter parts in the BG (like right behind the head) a bit as currently this is a bit distracting from the main subject.
