Hopefully its something venomous or you just broke the law killing it lol. I kept finding this stuff when looking for snake pictures, i think its b.s., all snakes should die.
In Georgia it is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail to possess or kill many of nongame wildlife species, including non-venomous snakes (O.C.G.A. §27-1-28).
