It's a newborn rat snake. The herpetologist wrote me right back! Told me it was just trying to scare me but it was absolutely harmless. I'd put it out in the back yard, except the girls would eat it and if it did happen to grow up, it would eat the eggs! It's also called a "Chicken Snake" because it eats baby chicks and eggs.
I'll let it go at the park down the street. It's another beneficial creature...eats rodents.

Well, glad it wasn't a rattler!
Had great fun freeping the leftists. Someone took pictures so I'll ping you all to that thread when they get posted.
