learn the difference between venomous and nonvenomous snakes


Not trying to be a smartass, just sharing an interesting fact. All snakes are venemous. The "nonvenemous" snakes evolved to use other means to kill their prey such as squeezing it to death. So what little venom they do produce is essentially harmless.

Wouldn't that just make it like saliva then? Or cum?

Either way sounds disengeous to call them venomous

yellow


Alx nailed it.
It's a yellow rat snake. Note that it has stripes running down the length of its body, especially on the sides, as opposed to the more conspicuous blotches you see on gray rat snakes. A lot of yellow rats look a lot more yellow and have more well defined dorsal stripes, but there are regional variations.
If you look at a "prototypical" yellow rat and a gray rat, this looks like a blend between the two. I think that is typical of yellow rats in the East.

Venom is in essence a type of saliva. So you are pretty correct in that statement.

Ribbon snakes are a completely different species. That's like looking at a Pit-bull and saying "we always called them Rotweillers."

If it was eating your property (quails), then it needed to die.

Other than that, you would have been better off letting it live. It would stay hidden 99% of the time and eat rodents around your house.

How have we gone three pages without the mention of fire. Kill it with fire then burn your quail pen too.
