A snake app 1.metre long, grey /black colour was in my garden this morning.I hit it with a gardening saw across its back [very hard] The snake managed to slither away quicly into some bushes.Will the snake survive?

 

Yep, then come back with a bunch of it's mates to hunt you down!!

Found a snake in our garden last year, the other half and her sister ate it. Personally I think they should be left alone, they can be excellent at controlling the local cat population.

Perhaps you should consider wearing a codpiece when you sleep. 

Two days ago I came downstairs in the morning and went into the downstairs bathroom. There was a 10 inch baby snake slithering around. I'm assuming it came thru the floor drain with those tiny holes in the metal plate that covers the drain. Less than 1/4 inch wide, black with yellow stripes. I looked it up after I killed it. Poisonous. So I told my next door neighbors who have a little daughter. Always expect the unexpected here?

Sounds more like a harmless Wolf snake, and snakes are venomous , not poisonous
