While you're looking for and at pictures of real snakes,
take some time to check out some folklore while you're at it, Asian Indian, Hindu, and Tibetan in particular.
Look for descriptions of the appearance of the Nagas and of any snakes that are supposed to attend to them.
Just a suggestion.
One more suggestion. If you look at your dream from the perspective of Shamanistic Traditions, you're not supposed to be avoiding the snakes' biting or dismembering you. Once the apprentice/seeker overcomes their fear of transcendence, the spirit is then able to merge with them thru the ritual dismemberment in a trance or dream. It's a painful process, but then you are linked to the spirit and are then under it's protection and have access to some of their power as well even as they work thru you.
It's just a thought, but given the direction of this and the last dream you posted, I'm getting a feeling that "someone" has taken an interest in you and that if you take steps to not obstruct them, then you are in for a great gift.
At the time I was all wrapped up in the precautionary mindset of being confronted with beasties of unknown hazard level. Next time I'll try to figure out that I'm dreaming and adjust my responses appropriately, Hadn't considered the mystical angle until you brought it up.
