Snake ID

Found this little guy half stuck on a glue trap in my garage. Closer look and saw it was still alive. Was able to get him unstuck but I did pinch off the very end of his tail. Put him back in the yard. What kind is it?

What purpose would killing it serve?

Nice to see alive.

Yes it is.
Live snake pics are somewhat rare on here.

Didn't see a reason to kill it. Didn't think it was going to break in and eat me alive when I was sleeping lol.

You can get them off of glue traps easily with cooking oil.

I will have to remember that if another comes along. Lol sounds a lot easier than using my bare hand and a flat head screw driver to hold/peel the glue. I poured gas on my hand to get the glue off lol
