Blankets are optional when you have a snake friend like this!
Snake-bulges in 3D can be really tricky. I'll try and explain the best I can, but the problem is with the UVs/Textures, and less the mesh itself. The underbelly usually only takes up a very small portion of the body and the bulges are - at least the way I do them - more or less uniform. So its infrequently enough to have the underbelly line lifted up more like this.
The way I did it here is not animation-friendly, so when that arises in the future I'll need to think of a different way of doing it, should an emphasis on the underbelly stretching is preferred.
Two alt renders and one less-friendly outcome with ShinyLatias's Soba, who snuck into this scene for an easy meal ;P
