Almost got bit? Walking a few yards away from a snake is not "almost" getting bit.

Not "nice snake." rather, "Nice Hat band." "Skin 'im, Pilgrim. I'll git ya another'n!!" (Will Geer, as Bearclaw Chris Lapp, in the movie Jeremiah Johnson.) Yeah!

There are only two types of movement that can be achieved when dealing with snakes, sh*t and run. Sh*t Snake!!! Then a poof of dust as you run away.
