maybe you have a photo to help, but one thing, if you are dealing with a poisonous species, you don't want to get bit...... period, do a search on the net, poisonous snake bites etc.
Personally, they never bothered me, though when in areas where there are poisonous ones, ( places I've been too ) you must be careful. I don't know what it is about those who get creeped out by snakes, my mother has that phobia, when I was a kid I picked one up, she ran like heck and went to the neighbors house by mistake.
My favorite one native around here is the corn snake, they are good foes of mice, also like young birds in nests, interrupted one doing that once. Corn snakes are usually quite docile, 'cept when you first handle em. Around here I just leave em be, no need to chop em up, they're here for a reason, kinda wish people were not so skiddish of non poisonous snakes, they're harmless.
I can see why the other variety requires dispatching, venom is really nasty when introduced into the human body. I'm not sure where, but I believe NYS has a species of rattler, not widespread, probably rare to see one, kind of a shame to take one of those out if not necessary. Other places, where they are abundant and a hazard, probably best to do the opposite, unreal what happens to the human body, necrosis and similar.... makes it clear as to what needs to be done there.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
