Note that as a result, snakes have very little musculature to use to "bite".  They basically just throw their head (and teeth) at you.

Miles would have been bitten and crapped upon, with almost 100% certainty ;).  For whatever reason, Nerodia seem to pretty much bite as a knee-jerk reaction to being grasped.  

Black rat snakes are a 50/50 grab bag; some of them bite instantly, and others just kind of tolerate it.  Like this guy who I caught pursuing chipmunks under the deck --
