I have a little Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom. It does well enough for me. If you're in the market for something in the medium price range, I'd recommend it among its class. The 3.2 megapixel resolution is plenty considering the quality of the lens and the general lack of creative control. More megapixels are useless if the optics and controls don't allow one to take better pictures.
If I win the lottery, I'll buy a digital SLR. For shooting snakes, I'd strongly recommend a camera that allows you to use an off-camera flash on a sync cord. I've had many pictures that could have been great if I'd been able to control the flash more carefully. Macro shots almost depend on having some control of the flash angle.
