He's afraid of you!
Gary De'Snake has a combination of different attributes from various kinds of snakes to make him unique. He is a pit viper, characterized by the two heat sensitive pits behind his nostrils. Specifically, he is based on a Sunda Island pit viper (Trimeresurus insularis), a species of snake known for its vibrant coloration, with cerulean blue scales covering his body, bulbous yellow eyes with black vertical slit pupils, long white fangs (with the left one broken off following a confrontation during which he accidentally poisoned Bogo), and a red forked tongue in his noticeably wide jaw. Sunda Island pit vipers are typically green or yellow; the blue variant is extremely rare, resulting from a recessive gene that removes yellow pigment and causes the scale structure to reflect only blue light. He lacks the red tail of the real-life Sunda Island pit viper. Additionally, he is 10 meters longโapproximately 33 feet in length when rounded upโmaking him far larger than any species of real-life venomous snake. Despite Zootopia originally seeing Gary as a threat, he is a sweet and caring viper, who expresses that he never intended to hurt anyone when he first met Judy Hopps. He is extremely talkative and has an optimistic attitude, trying to encourage or console anyone who is at their lowest. Gary is also very selfless in that he is willing to risk his life and the future of Zootopia to bring his family and all reptiles back into the city. Gary has a plethora of keeled scales visible on his body; he specifically has 448 head scales, 160 stomach scales, and 2,392 scales along his back. His model gives him the appearance of having two tongues for two different functions; one is a humanoid tongue for when he speaks, and his forked tongue is for when he needs to hiss. He has no hands or legs since he's a snake
