Any of you out there, who enjoy "River Dance" would have seen the similar leap, performed by my husband , upon discovring the snake. Only thing missing, was "Michael Flatley's" wonderful heal clicks as he bounds across the stage.

We'd like to know what type of snake this is.
That's not a black racer. Black racers are all black. The snake in question is a Common Garter snake. I am deathly afraid of snakes so I have made a job of learning all the snakes so that I know the poisonous ones.
