Just got my copy in the mail today, Kid, so I'm up with you now. I assume if you've gotten to the snake that you have film in your camera and it is in the lower right hand corner of your picture (at least I couldn't leave the hut until I had done that).
Now for the snake, and you do have to move fairly fast--I was bitten about sixteen times before I finally got it right! SPOILER

As soon as you see the snake, click on your camera. An out-of focus picture will come up. Click on first "out" and then "in" below the picture (I think that's the combination--when you get it right, a glowing green dot will appear between the words). Click on the snake and you'll take a picture and the snake will be immobilized. Open your inventory, take out the knife and use it on the snake, then take it back. At that point you should get the next scene--and that's as far as I've gotten!
