I knew a guy that happened to.
He thought he had killed a chicken snake that he was going to make a belt out of.
Snake wasn’t dead and climbed on him biting him.
He was weaving all over the road and was stopped by a cop.
He got out of his truck and the cop pulled his gun, a .357mag, and told him to get back in.
He told the cop there was a snake in his truck.
The cop opened the door and the snake was coiled up on the floor.
The cop went to shooting.
Snake got away unhurt but his truck didn’t make it.
Cop shot his transmission to pieces and he ended up in jail.

I had about a 5 foot Bull Snake which was supposed to be in a bag in the truck one time. I stopped for fuel at which point the snake proceeded to wind itself around the clutch and brake pedals. A guy was studying me as I am trying to unwind the snake and finally asks “did you know he was in there?”
Had him for several years. I named him SVL (Snake, Very Large)
“Cop shot his transmission to pieces and he ended up in jail.”
I would imagine that was to cover up somehow for the cop being trigger-happy.
