Why did you kill it?

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.

Fair enough. Did the snake pose a threat other than passing across your property? Did not look like it to me. Unless your life is threatened, you cannot use lethal force to protect property. Don’t you just love little debates like this? I do!!! ;-)
