Yes, I had to revise my first guess from reticulated python after seeing it.

Whether he's good or bad he's dead in my yard.


Edit: it does look like he's asking you what's up like a nosy neighbor.

Looks like a garter snake. They usually appear in the landscaping around my house about this time of year.

I don't know about east of the Ms. but in CENLA, our garters look nothing like eastern garters identified by our posters from the other southern states. Ours are black, never brown, with lots of bright coloring.
