Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies. I have a boa who isn't shy at all of her head already and just got a baby ball python that I'm raising to not be so afraid of head contact (what if I need to inspect or observe a future health issue in the head area?). I've seen the pictures and videos of snakes with hats and the positive responses from people who don't necessarily even like snakes because it seems to make them more appealing. My sister is afraid of snakes and I think making it cuter would ease some of the tension when she visits. I don't plan on having an extensive portfolio like Gandalf but hoped to know how to do it safely should the situation arise.
