This question is for the resident snake expert Rich. My wife was standing near in our screen enclosure and spotted this snake staring at her. I heard a scream and looked out to see her standing on a patio chair demanding me to kill the snake. I got a few pics then used a stick to carry it outside where it happily slid away into the brush. I would imagine it's harmless. Possibly a coachwhip or black racer type snake. It freaked her out to see it shake its tail and coil up a bit to mimick the rattler. I'm attaching a few pics that I hope show enough of the snake for you to decide what it is. THANKS!
