Oh, you could always go the route of a resin base. I'm not sure of anyone who makes snakes... The cheapest I've seen for just a blank, unfinished one was like $60, but if you want to have it finished by an artist (painted, furred, ect), they'll charge more.
I know some artists will start with a resin base of some other species (like a dog), and modify the base so that it's a dragon or some other uncommon animal (like a fossa). So I wonder if you could find someone to do that??
These guys have a LOT of goodies:

That's prolly what I'll do when I get to that point--just get a blank one and finish it myself. It looks soooo fun.
