I think it's ok to move if it's dead as long as you don't cause your ball to move. Alive, and I'm going to try to scare it away.
But that also depends on the size. 12" or less and I might try to scare it as long as it doesn't cause a penalty for testing the bunker sand. If it's bigger, I will bribe someone else in my group with food and drinks to do it!!
We are getting ready for the THP Championship and last time on this course, there was a snake next to one of the bunkers. Let's assume for the sake of discussion, this snake is not poisonous. Your ball lands in a bunker and its next to a snake. What do you think the ruling is?
If there is no way to absolutely ID what kind of snake, You err on the side of caution. Venomous or not, there is a "Dangerous condition" rule entitling you to a free drop. In this case, you would drop away from the snake in another part of the bunker. Same applies to Alligators, Fire Ant nests, etc...
Live snake or dead?
Live snake I’m running away and crying.
Dead snake, I’m running away and whimpering.
Rake that thing and fling it as far as I can into whatever sort of hazard is nearest me.
Then laugh for a while and try to compose before hitting the ball.
Dead snake: play the ball as it lies. Snake is a loose impediment at that point.
Live snake: drop in the bunker no closer to hole for free or outside the bunker with a stroke penalty. Nonvenomous snakes can still bite!
This is the correct answer
Also FWIW most bites are warranted, most are men, a lot of the times alcohol is involved.
Shhhhh don't tell anyone, but I've let a THPer move a ball from a divot. Because that's some bull.Free drop, smile, have fun.
Its a THP event, not life and death. The purpose is FUN.
