Description
My snake Nicodemus as a quetzal, as I've not drawn him yet nor have I drawn a decent quetzal lately. Nice doo.---
Quick crappy painting. I promise, gawd, *someday* I'll do actual non-sucky scales. Reptilian gods, smite me now.
10 1/2"x13" watercolor and some India ink I don't use ever.
*OMG* originals for sale [link]

Heheh, he's getting big now! Gotta get him a bigger cage soon. Was around 2 foot long at one year old. I'm used to being able to handle him iwth one hand, barely can anymore! XD

Technically speaking, that would be a quetzalcoatl.
This is a quetzal (Pharomachrus moccino), the most famous member of the trogon family.

I know what Quetzalcoatl is as opposed to quetzal the Guatamalan unit of money. I just call winged-snakes "quetzals" as a kind of generic name, as well as to distnguish them from the deity.

Oh...
So "coatl" is out of the question?

Too late, "quetzal"'s been used for too long.

At least be sure to differentiate between the snake and the trogon, at least.

Thanks! Cornsnakes have that cool glyph in the middle of their heads. I bet they have magical powers.
