TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster described an encounter with a snake that bounced off their shoulder while closing a shed, leading to a discussion among commenters about its identification. Various snakes were suggested, with the most consensus around it being a Bridle snake (Lycodon davisonii) or possibly a non-venomous Krait. Some commenters warned about potential venomous species and advised seeing a doctor, although the poster confirmed that the snake had not bitten them.
