This is SO close that I am going to say we have a WINNER!!!!!

GREAT guess HewesHort!

I sprayed the GS foam onto a sheet of bubble wrap (it was intended to strengthen the form but ended up getting peeled off at the end), then covered the foam with crinkled grocery bags. After it dried I pulled off the bags and spray painted it with stone look paint and sprinkled sand on top to remove the shine and create a rougher texture for the snake to shed against. I pulled the bubble wrap off the back because it wasn't sticking well.

I know that this answer wasn't spot on, since I didn't exactly use a form, but foil would have been used in basically the same way as the bags were...

20 rep points to HewesHort!

WAY TO GO!!!

If anyone has something similar they would like to submit for a contest (not similar to my project, but similar to the contest), please send me a PM. There was a great response from this one and I would like to do it again at least once a week.
