Sure, explaining in detail how decapitation is death by slow torture for a snake might make an already apologetic snake killer feel even worse about what she did. That's a good thing in my opinion. There is no amount of mental suffering that can even begin to compare to the physical suffering that a small and helpless animal endured at her hands. Decapitation by blunt object would be excruciatingly painful for any animal, and it is especially torturous for snakes because their pain and suffering does not end quickly with decapitation.
The only possible good outcome is enough mental suffering and remorse to motivate a positive change in the behavior like taking a snake safety training course or taking the time to find a local wildlife expert who can safely remove venomous snakes the next time one is encountered. "I'm sorry" is *not* enough, not by itself. It doesn't impress me or earn any slack, not unless it is accompanied by positive action.
