Anyone use their P3S for snakes and lizard images?

Spring is around the corner and I have one location where there is a talus wall that holds lizards and mostly neonate Rattlesnakes. Since the P3S camera has such a wide angle, you would have to be close, I am wondering if the snakes get defensive at the approach of a drone and doe the lizards hide?

I would try and keep the drone say 6 or 7 feet away but for the lizards and snakes they might react to it as a bird of prey. Anyone every done reptile imaging with a drone?

Do a google search with drone and rattlesnake nest in the description. I'm at work or I'd post the link. Pretty scary stuff!

Thanks.
The Prop wash seems not to bother the snake.
I tend to get a little closer:

There are a few at the snakes den (didn't know the correct term so I used nest) One shows a drone attacked and taken down by snake.

Don't expect to get in strike range - just some footage on places to dangerous to climb (Talus is very lose slope of rocks). I would not want to chance hurting a snake, have moved lots of snakes from areas close to schools or in peoples yards. They above snakes were along a path used by high school runners.
