Snake On A Plane

A 2D Plane! Today we feature a puzzle from a brand new series by the constructor Greg Rodgers Powers who sets under the pseudonym Eggr. You can play it here:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/dnHnLnTFQM

Rules:
Draw a snake into the grid. ie a 1-cell wide path of orthogonally-connected cells, starting at the “head” and leading to the “tail”. The snake never touches itself orthogonally but may touch diagonally. (The snake never ‘doubles back’ to cover a 2x2 region.) All cells containing the same shape are 'clues' where the value in the cell denotes its “distance” from the head/tail. (Distance is measured as ‘number of orthogonal steps’.) The Square map points to the head of a snake. The Circle map points the tail of a snake. Each 'clue' also indicates how many of the 8 surrounding cells are part of the snake. Clues cannot be on the snake.

There is an example that's very helpful here:
