(I am assuming we are talking about the large flooded cavern with the underwater poison dart trap)

Position Lara on the forward right-hand corner of the ledge and turn her roughly half (45 degrees) right, then do a backward hop/running jump towards the ledge with the snake on. When she lands, turn her the rest of the way right and hop back against the wall before opening fire on the snake & there's a reasonable chance she won't get bitten.

Should have made that a bit clearer:

The complete move sequence is:

Swim down the flooded tunnel, keeping low & to the right to avoid the poison dart trap. At the end of the tunnel, swim sharp right to avoid the falling masonry. Swim to the surface, continuing to bear right. Climb out of the water on to a green stone platform where there is a small medipack. Across the pool is another green stone platform - go back into the water (making sure not to stray into the path of the dart trap), then swim on the surface to this platform. The wall on one side of the platform is climbable. Backflip at the top to reach an upper ledge. On this platform, position Lara at the forward left corner, turn half left then hop back to set up a running jump to the next ledge. On this ledge, turn the rest of the way left, then standing jump to the shallow sloping ledge. Turn around, then standing jump/grab to catch the wall above the previous ledge. Climb, then pull up at the top. Go to the wall at the far end and position Lara so that she is standing on edge of the long open side of this platform with her left shoulder against the short wall. Sidestep one pace to the right and turn half left. Standing jump to the next platform (this is the one I'm talking about above).
