Looks like a yellowbellied water snake...NON VENOMOUS! Why did you kill it?
Couldn’t you just scoop it up and stick it in the brush somewhere?
Why do people do this? Just move it.
nonvenemous?
That sure looks like a triangular shaped head to me!
It seemed more prudent than taking the time to research it's type
while it maybe killed a pet or got under the house to remain a threat to them.
In this part of Texas we are rich with poisonous snakes.
We have laws here stating we can use deadly force against intruders
on our property if we perceive a threat. I honored the snake
by treating him as an equal and therefor subject to this law.
Because it was Water Moccasin, a poisonous snake.
