Given that, the first one puts color in the snake, so it would go well with most backgrounds (the middle ones would not look good on a white background because the snake would be washed out) and the last one would do well on anything except white, but even white would be fine because it is all b & w. That is my 2 cents. What is really important is what YOU like.
Very good point, thanks!
