My brother found this in his yard in Covington. He plans on keeping it around but doesn't know what kind it is. Any help is appreciated.

I know it's not a poisonous one. Looks like a good one to keep around to keep the rodent population down.

non-poisonous juvenile snake. not sure of species.

The general consensus here is that he is not poisonous...................so you should be able to just chop his head head off with a shovel or something, no need to break out the heavy artillery for this one.

Doesn't look like a poisonous snake.
I tend to kill them when in doubt. When I'm sure it's harmless, I'll relocate it to the wooded area down the street.

It's a black racer, usainits boltis.
If not careful it will grow into a west African gaboon viper. Bitis gabonica
