Can someone ID this snake? It is about 7-8 inches long. Acting pretty lethargic probably due to cold weather.
I usually find 2 or 3 a year in the yard.
Looks like a racer snake, maybe a black masked racer in winter mode. They're good snakes, usually pretty fast but he's probably lethargic because of the cold.
Is it more brown than black? Is there a faint pattern.
Juvenile racers don't look like that.

Definitely not poisonous -- A non-poisonous snake is a good snake, please let him be!
