Harmless corn snake most likely, shame you killed it. Eats rats and mice.

Skinny snakes are typically harmless. Coral snakes are the exception. And they are usually in fla or ga. Copperheads, water moccasins, and rattle snakes are less colorful and usually fatties as adults. As for North American coral snakes, red touches black friend to jack. Red touches yellow kill a fellow. Don't try that in South America tho because it's the reverse

When in doubt ask questions later. If he killed it I don't fault him. His post educated him and going forward mr corn snake will live on.

Milk snake. They make excellent pets. If I see a snake, I gotta pick it up. Fascinating creatures.

Damn no need to kill snakes, even the venomous ones.

Corn Snake.
I was always told and seems to hold true.
Copperhead has a blunt tail.
Corn Sanke has a pointed tail.

[Corn snakes have blotches patterning along their body, and milk snakes have bands that encircle the body.]

I don’t keep them for pets, but I never kill them intentionally. They have an ecological purpose and generally mind their own business. We have so many that look similar at a quick glance: bull snakes, king snakes, corn snakes, pine snakes, etc. Some make a rattling noise by beating their tails agains dry leaves. They want predators to think they are rattle snakes. That gets some killed.
