I will say that they look nice compared to the huge ones on that statue in Italy. When I was a kid on holiday on Penang Island (northern part of West Malaysia) back in the 60s (showing my age) the family visited the famous snake temple and I recall there were snakes everywhere and in a huge pit in the centre of the temple were the biggest fatest snakes I have ever seen in my life. It was considered good luck to touch one. I have no idea what you got if you touched the big ones in the pit.
