Where are you from? That will help us know what kind of advise to give you.   How old are you?  That will help us know if we should be helping you catch snakes or not.  And where did you learn English?  That will help us understand your writing and respond accurately.

If you're 10, you should not be handling snakes...
If you have family into taxidermy [or snake hunting], ask them for help. If not, please please please do not go snake hunting yourself.

Georgia - the state or the country?  By the way you were writing I thought you were from outside the US.  First thing you need to do is learn to identify the snakes in your area.  Know the ones that are poisonous and the ones that are endangered and illegal to handle.  Stay away from both!  If you are only 10 years old, Step two is to make sure you have your parent's permission and ask your parents or someone with some experience to help you get started.  Step three is find a cloth or paper bag (a pillow case or a paper 50 lb. feed bag works well) and an "L" shaped metal rod about 3' or 4' long.  Step four is to locate a likely area with snakes; wooded areas, creeks, areas with rocks, brush, lumber or other material laid out that snakes may be hiding under.  To actually catch the snake, take the rod and pin the snake down right behind the head with the "L" part while you ready the bag.  Again, use the L shape end to lift or push the snake into the bag.  Put the bag in the freezer to dispatch (kill) the snake.  Study a good tutorial on mounting snakes, thaw, skin, tan and mount.

Do not go out without supervision and do not under any circumstances get bit!
