When taking pictures using external flashes the shutter speed doesn't have much of anything to do with stopping motion. It's the lights themselves that have that effect.
Also your camera is limited to how fast of shutter speed you can use with flashes. With my Canon 5D the fastest shutter speed I can use is 1/200th sec. Even though the camera without using any flash has a shutter speed up to 1/8000th a sec.
But with or without a flash I wouldn't go below 1/60th a sec. unless your camera holding skills are great and the snake is not moving.
