Interesting lens... I've been wanting a wide angle macro for a while, but this really takes it to another level. It does shift too, although personally I think tilt would have been more useful to control DoF in a macro scenario. MFD 0.47cm! You could practically stack a couple of filters on it and rest the subject on that!
As a poor man's alternative, could you just use an extension ring on a non-macro wide angle? Of course, you will lose infinity focus, and I suspect the small extensions needed may not be easily provided with off the shelf ones.
I don't know my snakes but there's plenty of non-venomous ones too.
