If you took your pet snake with you for a walk & a bear got after you do you think your pet snake could keep up.

Wow, not one straight answer... at least not one that was correct. The fastest snake, the Black Mamba, can move at about 20 MPH for short distances whereas a human can move at around 28 MPH and a bear can move at around 30 MPH.
So to answer your question, no a snake can not keep up with you and neither of you could outrun a bear.

How Fast Is A Snake

Well snakes don't crawl, they slither. And unlike dogs they aren't too protective of their owners. I'm sure that bear would be having himself some fried snake. "Tastes like chicken"

How fast can snake go

It depends on the type of snake...mambas and sidewinders can move fast [especially in sandy environments], but you wouldn't want them to be your pet, as they are very poisonous.

It depends upon the snake. They usually can move at about 20 mph when frightened.

It wouldnt have to keep up.
It'd crawl into the woods as the bear chased after you.

I think a snake could win any race or marathon. They slither very quickly and I'm scared of them.
