I see rabbits at the range all the time. I guess its the same kind of thing.

Haha I was very new to shooting and I remember I was shaking while I was trying to work this .44 magnum lever action which was way beyond my skill level but I had begged to carry. I took six poorly aimed shots that all went way high. At that point I realized that I had already passed the snake anyway and I moved away. I like to think I'd hit it now but I can't not being shaken by stepping over one of those things lol.
