Snake in my Yard!!

First let me say: I am totally terrified of snakes, little ones, medium ones, big ones, I'm even afraid of earth worms! It happen to be that last Friday as I was doing some yard work around the house when I ran into a situation I will never want to run into again. It happen to be that I was mowing the lawn when after a few minutes I see a 3 foot snake trying to climb into one of the trees I have in the front yard. At that point I froze and didn't know exactly what to do, I mean I knew that I wanted it to get out and leave my property but in order for it to do that, I would have to do myself... so this is what I did....I grabbed a broom and decided to push the tree around back and forth but that didn't work. As a matter of fact, all I did was upset the snake more. After about 20 minutes of trying to get it out with a broom I decided to grab the hose and wet it to see if that made it come out. Well guess what, that didn't work either; I must of wasted all the water from Lake Okeechobee because nothing fazed that creature.

After about 45 minutes of fighting with this ugly looking thing, I decided to go ahead and do something I really didn't have the courage to do. I went to the backyard and grabbed those big scissors people use to trim the bushes and, when I got back from the utility room, I noticed the snake was sticking out of the tree looking right at me. When I approached it, it curled up and started taking out it's tongue at me. Well to make a long story short, I don't know how I did it but I came from behind, without it seeing me, and I did what still to this day gives me chills thinking of what I did....Yes I cut her in half...One part of it's body went one way and the other end went the other way. Now I really don't know if it was a poisonous snake or if it was a garden snake but I 'll tell you one thing...I didn't want it on my yard! In conclusion, since that day I still feel that that snake it still alive and it's going to come back for some vengeance!! Here a two pics of what the snake looked liked after I killed it. On the first picture you have half the head to the middle of it's body...And on the other picture you have from the middle to it's tail.

Just a little note: If you stick out your toungue at me, I WILL cut you in half!!
