I'm really, really not liking the head, and I don't know how to fix it, because my try just made it worse in my opinion. I mean, the shine looks more like a smile than a shine. The body parts may have some problems too.
Is someone willing to fix it?

Fixed the shine issue. I just placed it off to the side and dimmed it a shade.
I also edited the eyes to make them more distinguishable.

I have been editing it too. I think because this stage is going to have alot of greenery in it it should be a colour that is opposite, how do you feel about red? I have implemented a green stripe like all snakes have to show they are dangerous. I have done the eyes so you can see them both and thinned out the mouth (to be more snake like) and given a it tooth and a tongue. Though I'm thinking of removing the tongue because it doesn't seem to fit. Is it looking alright?

That does look cool. I'd agree to removing the tongue; to me, it makes the Badnik look more like a dragon than a snake. Otherwise, it's a nice variation, and I also agree that we should have some Badniks contrast from the scenery. However, some snakes are adapted to camouflaging into their environment, so the green is still a viable option. Nonetheless, I like your choice of colors, and as for the stripe, you should make it look like the stripe is indented into the red metal -- put some shades or tints on the edges of the stripes. That would make it look more detailed, and in my opinion, it'd look pretty cool.
Also, edit the eyes a bit; they blend too much into the whites of the eyes to see clearly.

How's this? A red and green version. Only I'm having trouble getting the eyes to look right, can you help me? I think we're getting close!

Please fix those colours. It wouldn't hurt (In fact it would greatly help) to desaturate them ever-so-slightly. Darken the green a shade overall, even.
Otherwise, it's looking pretty good. I could suggest experimenting with those eyes; do replicas of the face, with as many different eyes as you can think of, even if it seems like they'll just be goofy as shit -- you'll end up with a pleasing one amongst the chaos. Just try everything that springs to mind.

The darker of the two is a nice colour. Quite pleasing to the eye.
But, I had a thought; what are the rainforest zone level colours going to be? I mean, is this supposed to be a badnik that would merge in with grass and plants, or is it supposed to stick out more?
For the latter reason, I'd say give "caterkiller purple" a try, even though I like the green there.
The face is better, but I'm still not sure about those eyes -- have you tried whiter eyes with a sold black pupil?

The more I look at that badnik the more it looks like a lizard to me rather than a snake. Might be a bit unorthodox but could you change the two 'spheres' that are in contact with the ground for feet? Probably make it a lot harder to animate but a step up from the classic sonic style snake like badnik

Oh, that's actually nice. Doesn't look too much like a caterkiller, either; and should contrast with the rainforest plants enough, depending what colours they are.
But, Sonic being surreal and all (A hedgehog is what colour, again?) I don't see what would be wrong with a pink rainforest or something, heheheh.
WOW GUYS, HERE'S AN AWESOME IDEA, S3 was to have MJ music -- let's rip off some Prince for this, and have Purple Rain Forest Zone.

To be honest I thought the red snake was the best looking.
At first I didn't like the purple snake either, but curious as to what kind of snakes might be purple, there's this one here:
It's Amazonian even. I now approve.
Of course this might just mean that it's time for a snailbot?

No, I don't like the purple. It looks enough like a Caterkiller before purple is added into the mix. I really like the red and dark green, though. One request for the sprite, however: it might just be me, but I think the mouth of the snakebot looks way too much like a duck bill. Just my opinion.
