I have tried searching and searching for elements of the wild thornberries log flume such as the spitting coconuts and the giant snake that have since been removed. Does anyone have any photos or videos that show them clearly? 

Best I could find for you. It's bad quality, but it does showcase both of those sections of the ride. You can also find the HD audio from the ride here:

Also looks like our man, Don Helbig, posted a picture of the snake on his Twitter account last year. Perhaps he knows what happened to both of those elements.

That snake used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. I always covered my eyes at that part also I covered my ears at the beginning of the ride when the persons voice blared over in the building.
