You would be needing 323 textures but some additional information which is important
Don't use too many polygons - will make texturing really tedious and a lot of textures will make trouble in the future. (the limit of all object textures seems to be 2500... so if you use 500 textures for you object that leaves 2000 textures for all the rest of the objects your level needs)
Start with simple. Don't start doing anything too complicated until you understand what this is about. Make a vase or similar snake head.
Hope it helps.
