#1 - you've got a good shadow here, and the snake isn't even touching the wall.

#2 - The hand is actually touching the wall, and the shadow isn't as dark as the snake's. Both objects are blocking the primary light source, but the hand is definitely touching the wall, so it should be effectively blocking more light and have a darker shadow.

#3 - There's no shadow near this foot, so I have to assume it's being lifted (but that's not made apparent from its position).

#4 - The shadow is not much darker than the surrounding area, which is perfectly fine if it's being lit up by the bounce lighting, but again, the foot is touching the floor, the shadow should be darkest there where the light is blocked the most (at the point where the foot touches the floor). This conflicts with #5
#5 - if the floor shadow is light because of bounced light, the shadow on the body would also be lightened by bounced light.

The easy correction is to make the shadows next to the hand and feet to be darker to match the values used in the figures. Again, that shadow next to the foot (#4) looks good, but it doesn't match the values you're using elsewhere in the scene which have similar lighting conditions.
