Soldato
Peacefully coexist with it.
Looks nothing like a smooth snake. The pattern is totally different. No guarantee its a corn I admit, but head, body and pattern indicate its either a corn, or something similar.
Either way its harmless (they can bite, but not venomous and most are docile)
Be so kind as to leave some water out for it. Tap fine. Cold eater from kettle is better..
OT: I never knew that "nuke it from orbit" came from aliens!
