Absolutely, there are blue snakes. What tipped it off as AI was the weird texture of the overall image, the lack of understanding of how the scales fall and work along the body, the missing nub on the snout, the fact the snout actually has rendering conflicts, and a bunch else.

I... hate that the image is AI generated e-e It makes me wonder if the article was written by a human.

I thought the snake looked sus and reverse image searched Q_Q

Queer AND trans tattoo artist here, I would love to be added if that's okay ;u;
