False. At least not any animal I've ever seen. Snakes don't bother me unless they're in my pool, which did happen once. It was a garter snake only about a foot long and very skinny - a baby - and the thing came at me like an anaconda when I tried to net it.
Important Safety Tip: Never try to net a snake, no matter how small and "harmless," while you are actually *in* the pool.
