Description Above is my hastily-done contribution to the amendment of the evil that is the severe want of Tetrapodophis pictures on deviantart. It's unmeasured (sorry), but I astutely made the end of the tail reach into a same-shaded section of the drawing, so that its length would be indeterminate. Doesn't remedy the unmeasured limb lengths and positions, though.
I'm cognizant of the fact that, being essentially a thick bent pencil line, this is completely stupid as a reconstruction of an animal. The aim was to create a convincing environment - tell me if I've failed or not!

Nice to see some tetrapodophis on DA indeed ! I really like the fact your depiction, while stylized, looks very realistic in terms of setting and scenery. It does look like a sketch drawn from life by a time-travelling zoologist. Also, kudos for making this strange reptile quite "normal". The environnment looks rich as a privemal forest should ans I have a soft spot for dead tree trunks. ^^ So I think that you achieved your goal of making it convincing ! Even though I'm no paleobotanist. ^^
