put it out, thisd actually happened to me once, i felt soooo bad, i was in a bass tournament, and we hopped of the boat to pee, so i decided to do some quike herping, there was a tree that had fallen and had been cut by a chainsaw, but was left alone, and the logs wher left in order, so i started to roll one over, and there was a five lin inbetween the logs, and it reppied her in two, i was soo devistated i almost cried! i put her out of her misery as fast and humainly possible, and i still feel some giult.

because of this i always scan the road when we are driving, to hopfully save a herp or two.

I would go back and end its misery, depending on the severity of the injuries its really the only humane thing to do.

Dependes where i hit it... if in the tail i would check up and if no bleeding or any injure couldnt see i would take it off the road and let it go... but if i hit it in the middle or head i would go back and put it out of its misery...

I think there should be another option. "Go back see if it can be rescued, then if not take it out of its misery". There would be no thought in my mind but to take it to the vet. I love snakes

The extent of damage would determine whether I made any attempt to rescue it, or otherwise put it out of its misery.
