The fastest way to killl any snake is by cutting or chopping off its head. OR you could try this: I just killed a 2.5ft Copperhead that was in my garage ... it ran across my wife feet and stayed by the door to the house (I had seen skinks there earlier - food source!). I boiled several pots of water and poured them on the snake... it moved very slowly until it died. It was not going to leave and I had to make sure that it was dead.. I thought bleach, bug spray... something heavy but the boiling water did the trick... hated it but I have small children and pets ... no compromise!! Too bad that won't work on Progressives!! M

Proper euthanasia technique (so as to not put the animal in any more pain than necessary), is a quick death- a chop of the neck, or a well aimed blow to the head. Lethal injection is also legal. By the way, why do you want to kill it? If there were a small snake in my yard I would be glad that I don't have to deal with mice.

All of these are terrible, cruel ways to kill a snake. The quickest, most humane way to kill them is destroying the brain. Their slow metabolisms make injections and poisons take a long time to work, and chopping off the head doesn't kill them right away either. Also, it is cruel to dump boiling water on ANY animal, how could that ever be seen as an ok way to kill something?
