I have a lot of experience “ not shooting snakes”. Everytime this comes up guys are shooting snakes at 25’ with shot loads. I hunted Rattlesnakes & Copperheads to sell hides. I can tell you that the snake you see is one you can avoid. Any shot load for handgun is only good on snakes at point blank range. They are useful to use at that range in buildings and such where you can’t use a bullet. Besides not having enough shot to throw a killing pattern they don’t have much velocity and pinwheel pattern.
There are several 410 single shot pistols on the market if expense is the issue, revolver if not.
