Without knowing why, seems to me if I was worried about snakes and wanted a snake gun, I'd be looking for a revolver that can handle .410 shotshells?

Not a hard target to hit as they don't move "that" fast. .22lr revolvers with 12 rounds is a common snake gun. 410's are definitely overkill. Rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, and random other snake all in the hunting land. And we're talking distances of maybe 3 yards at most.

Not yet. The last two I took had mama around and she wasn't happy but stayed back in the trees. Getting a thermal scope for my next night out and can be on the offense vs sit-n-wait.
