I had a dream ( they are rare for me as is) last night that included a bright red snake. What might that mean?

I very rarely dream but last night was one of those nights and I dreamed that my wife and kid, as well as myself were out and about. We encountered numerous animals all around the house I even stepped on an iguana. Then it hit me and I told my wife "the only thing we haven't seen is a snake but there is bound to be one around." In the dream I felt as if there was only one spot I hadn't searched and there is a pathway with water on both sides, then a large ark covered by ivy bushes and vines all over it. As I walked under the ark I see the reflection of the snake in the water, look up, grab it's tail and jerk on it but not enough to pull it down. After a brief "I found it" to my wife I flipped the ark over and in the process the snake slithered free a bit and then I looked into its eyes. The snake was red. The entire body and just as I got that bad feeling it lunged, I awoke swinging my arm in the direction to knock it away. Any idea of what this may mean or symbolize because my last dream was of a car wreck and the next day I ended up in a car wreck. I tried to add a lot of detail to help but I don't remember but the end of the dream. Please and thank you if you attempt to answer.
