Absolutely fantastic puzzle. I would agree that it is probably only 2 star difficulty.

Enjoyed it throughout, for future solvers remember the snakes don't touch each other diagonally as well.Happy snaking :P

A lot of fun,but much easier than 3*, if you realize quickly what's at snake here.

Interesting looking puzzle. I assume a snake means a 1 cell wide path? Perhaps it would help to clarify whether not touching itself includes diagonally.
Reply: yes, a snake is a 1-cell wide path. The snakes are not allowed to touch themselves horizontally or diagonally. Therefore no 2x2 region can be entirely one snake.
