Hello there,
Today I saw a snake in my yard, just going along it's way, and I thought it was pretty. Getting closer and I, loving snake's and thinking this one was pretty, I got a couple pics of it. Unfortunately, my house has a no (outside) snake policy (other than ribbon snakes and speckled king snakes, which are common and easily distinguishable) so this one ended up dead.
I know some will probably say it would have been fine without, but it's still not my decision. Obviously I do not know what this snake is, and I couldn't tell those that made the decision what it was.
Now the question is, what is it (I'm thinking some sort of colubrid by it's body and head shape), is it venomous(I suspect not, but it's better safe than sorry), and how many more could there be. However, all I ask is for a identification, and I'm happy.
Thank you all for your help! I will include some pictures which you may use as reference below.

I realize I left out an important piece of information. This snake was found in Northern Louisiana.
