HUH?
did you say it won't hold the stance you want?
If I understand you correctly, then this snake is still flexible? if so then it isn't freeze-dried.
please clarify and provide more detail about what has been done to the snake, and I'll tell you what you need to do.

did dad that works for the taxidermist say it was freeze dried or freezer burned?
SOrry i was a lil tired.Yes it is still flexible,in areas and soft as well in areas.Dad said it was dried enough to clear coat it but i didn't think it was.But i did what he said and clear-coated it.Its in a curled position and the head is kinda in the air,but i want it a lil' bit higher.Is there anyway to do this?Any help would be nice, sorry for the confusing question the first time.
Thank you,Steve
I really want to help you Steve, but we still need more information.
If that snake will bend then it isn't freeze-dried.
Is it mounted on a body or form? has it been filled with clay or mache? has it even been skinned?
give me some DETAILS and I'll tell ya what to do.
