Kill the snake first, got it.

While I'm pretty sure at this point you must be joking, I'm going to be a buzzkill and take it as serious anyway. Because this can be important. Bringing the snake, alive or dead, is more likely to cause your death and will do nothing to increase your odds of survival, do not bring the snake, alive or dead.
