Tim Malone, a DJ at Skateland roller rink for 20 years, said he was paying attention to his Android and not where he was walking as he passed through a parking lot.

As he approached the building to go in, he looked up and realized he was stepping on a snake, which caused him to dance away in panic.

Malone said he felt an adrenaline rush and started kicking when he realized it was a snake.

The reptile, a 4-foot-long bull snake, got a bite in but Malone was not seriously injured, and the snake was not venomous.

Malone said the snake may have been moving away from floodwaters.
