Hi !
If I was you I'd Give your snake a quick and mercy full death. Either use a knife to chop it's head off, or let it slowly cool down in a cold place, until the cold does the work for you. Reptiles will die of the cold, without any pain, since their systems slowly will shut down, and eventually they will slip painlessly into a state of hibernation, and then die. Keeping it alive over the week end will just prolong it's pain. In nature, a bird or other predator would eventually have done the job. It might seem cruel, but that is how nature is, and often what we humans believe to be mercy is in fact torture to wild animals.
