OK, boys n girls, it is most likely a Black Racer. These snakes are VERY good and do their best to rid the area of rodents. They're called "racers" because of how fast they move. They generally grow no longer than 4 feet. My wife, while gardening, often "talked" with a regular visitor from the Black Racer family.
