Brown snakes, particularly the eastern brown snake, are known for their speed and agility. They can move quickly, reaching speeds of up to 2-3 miles per hour (3-5 kilometers per hour) when threatened or hunting. This swift movement helps them evade predators and capture prey. Overall, while not the fastest snake, they are certainly quick relative to their size and environment.
They go after the prey and they take care after there yuong.

The snake you're describing is likely the Eastern Fox Snake (Pantherophis vulpinus). This non-venomous constrictor is often characterized by its brown coloration with a distinctive orange or yellowish belly. They are commonly found in Ohio's wetlands and grasslands, where they prey on small mammals and birds. Fox snakes are known for their defensive behavior, often vibrating their tails when threatened.
It's not a symbiotic relationship - they are predator and prey. Snake will eat a variety of food - so long as it's something small enough for them to swallow. Rats will attack snakes if they're cornered, so the snakes don't always get the upper hand.
The snake known to eat eagles is the Eastern Indigo Snake. While it primarily feeds on smaller animals, it has been observed preying on birds, including young or vulnerable eagles. Additionally, larger snakes like the Burmese Python may also attack and consume birds of prey if the opportunity arises. However, such instances are rare.
The snake would be the predator and the shrew would be the prey
