"looks so darn venomous and viper-like"

Not so much trying to give you hard time, but I have to ask. What looks "venomous" or "viper-like" about a corn snake other than being roughly "snake shaped"?

There are only about 5 species of venomous snakes in MS and you have never seen one of them. If you looked them up and learned how to identify those 5 you'd probably never have an excuse to kill another snake.

Now to give you little bit of hard time. I ran into perhaps of couple of dozen (positively identified) venomous snakes long before I ever started keeping them... I never saw any need to kill one. If the second one was actually in your house, I can sort of understand that, though if you google something like "relocating venomous snakes" you can find descriptions of how to safely remove them with probably less danger to yourself than you would have incurred while killing them.
