No. Do not kill your husband. He may be a fool and vicious to
harmless snakes, but divorce is so much more civilized.

Really, the man is gormless. What are his plans for the poor
creature? If he wanted to try to eat it, he should kill it, clean it,
and hand it to you to cook (I feel sure you do all the 'woman's work'
around the place). If he wants the skin, he should kill it and skin
it. A month is ridiculous.

Hadn't you best use this extreme oddity of his to rethink your
marriage and your life? Even if you decide to stay with him and let
him live, it should colour your perceptions of him in many ways.

Take the bucket (wear heavy long gloves, leather preferred.), cover it
securely with something with breathing holes in it, put it in the
trunk of your car, take it out in the country, and open the top,
tipping the bucket with a long stick or metal bar. Let the poor thing
go. And do consider a similar option for your husband.
