She was probably speaking of the "coach whip snake"; a long slender black snake. As a boy in Ala., I heard many stories about these snakes. According to some, they could stand on their heads and crack their bodies like whips. If you were too close, you would be cut by their slashing tails.

I spent many hours in the Ala. Woods; I never had a snake attempt to stand on it's head and whip me.
