I would say you had a cottonmouth or water moccasin.
Glad you're rid of it. It is a poisonous viper.

Quite possible it was a Rat Snake too. Either way it is a Dead Snake.

Gray Rat Snake

Looks like a gray rat snake...
1 Gray rat snakes are one of the longest snakes in North America, reaching lengths of up to 8 feet.
2 When threatened, rat snakes can "rattle" their tail, fooling other animals into believing they are venomous.
3 Like pythons and boas, rat snakes are constrictors, which suffocate/squash their prey.
4 Gray rat snakes are often found in trees, hiding in crevices or searching for food.
5 Unlike other rat snakes, gray rat snakes retain their juvenile coloration (speckled pattern) as adults.Still I think it's better off dead when next to your home !
Unless of course you have a plague of rats ???

Its what we call down here in the south, a king snake, supposedly they eat other snakes as well as mice.

Looks like a rat snake to me, too. Pity it got killed, but if a snake were a threat to me it would get sent to the sunny-rock mouse-laden snake heaven in the sky pretty quickly. Too bad they're difficult to ID quickly, don't want to get bit while trying to decide if it's a non-venomous snake or not.

Hi eric!
Good work!
Remember even if you cut the head off it can still get you. They really don't die 'til the sun goes down! Watch out!

What have you done, you murderer!
This was the divine Measuresnake.
We aren't talking about scales, we're talking about Scale.

You can use it as a pendulum too.

I think we all use our snakes as pendulums
