If does. Geez, there'd be videos on YouTube of it. People do that all the time. I have personally watched people do it several times.

They see this beautiful racer, not bothering them, not even on their property, so naturally they go get a shovel.

Uh oh, a yellow snake, must be a water moccasin! Get a shovel!

I know countless people that go by "only good snake is a dead snake"

My friend has a video on YouTube of their family awhile back finding this little baby rat snake in their garage. They all yell "ONLY GOOD SNAKE IS A DEAD SNAKE!!" *SHUNK*

Makes me really not like people.
