Yeah, the crowbar method did not seem thought out at all. I've handled a few snakes, the largest a friendly olive python, but you can feel that it will crush and kill you so fast if it wants. Should be escaping a snake like that by making it uncomfortable and wanting to leave, not whack it.
This trick really does work. The other day there was this big 'ol snake in my garden, I thought it was a rope at first. I complimented its boobs, asked if it had a boyfriend and if it wanted to come over to my mom's basement so we could have a date and talk about Arch Linux. This made the snake visibly uncomfortable so it pretended to answer its cell phone as it slithered away. No violence neccesary. Just make the snake uncomfortable until it doesn't want to be there then it will leave.
