That was a harmless (and useful) Dekays Brown. Probably the most common snake in Georgia.

Pic is a little fuzzy but could be. Little ones are hard to define.

Excellent roommate to have. Unless YOU wanted to be the one crawling under your house to eat rodents?
I’d welcome him and thank him for his service.
