Fuck I hate snakes. Always thought when I was a kid a snake was gonna bite my balls when I was taking a shit. Weird I know. 
I would have killed the snake 
That was pretty fucking awesome. 
Res ipsa loquitar -
my bet is the hawk tried to eat the snake and the best defense was to choke the bird out. I once actually found an owl that tried to kill a rattlesnake. Snake bit the owl and killed it but the iron grip of the owl never let up (as they have a ratchet system for squeezing) and the snake perished too.

That man is a fucking hero
