No snake expert here but it looks like it might be a black racer, which is non-poisonous.
Last year we had three garter snakes on our lanai. The first one I swept out with a broom. My wife likes snakes even less than me so, despite all of my assurances that they were good snakes which eat mice, I had to kill them. I spent a lot of time and used a lot of silicone sealant but I think I have every possible entry point closed. Time will tell but I really don't want to kill anymore garter snakes.
