just a thought henna, is a vegetable based dye, doubt it would harm the snake, certainly would not be painful, and would come off in the next shed. personally would not do it, don't know enough about henna's composition to know for sure if it would hurt the snake, but since it would not penetrate the scales i doubt it would. if you really really need to personalize your snake i would look in that direction......carefully of course.
