Wow, balancing this one was a real pain in the a**
Since the snake weighed so much more than the vixen I couldn't use her to hold the snake up all alone. In order to keep the snake from folding up like a harmonica I had to use a total of six pieces of wire.
As for the vixen's expression I was actually going for blank (as in hypnotized) but due to the small pupils it now looks more like fear (which I think works just as well for the scene :o)
