A snake?
Doggerel Dave said:

Quite lost as to how a snake (\'Green scales and a cold stare\') relates to \'woman’s history\' unless there\'s an oblique \'analogy\' being drawn between the green snake and a male\'s erect penis (ripe red and rampant could work here - not mine, but poetically it has some alliterative properties......).
