Dear Lord! I must kill any snake in my yard or my wife would leave me. Copperheads are way to common in North Georgia. But, if I ever found a beautiful Boa or a Python even my wife would understand it was someone’s pet. I will be praying for Alice to return.
Georgia is ground zero for a *lot* of high end exotic snake breeders.
Justin Kobylka, for one.
You just may find somebody’s escaped serpent, someday.
[best to prepare the wife, ahead of time]

If you find black snakes or king snakes in your yard, *don’t* kill them.
They eat Copperheads and Rattlers with gusto.
I live in prime territory for both vipers and because we protect the black snakes, we’ve never seen either of them in the yard.
My neighbor, who does kill every snake he sees had a basement full of Copperhead hatchlings.
If only he’d let the good snakes be....
