King Cobra

I Asped When I Saw These Incredible Origami Snakes

There’s a pretty wide array of origami snakes out there. I didn’t think there would be so much since origami is usually folded from a square sheet of paper and snakes are so long, but surprisingly enough, there are some amazing origami snake designs out there.

A lot of them are folded from a giant rectangle of paper, though, but that’s ok.
