I've no idea what kind of snake this is but my husband didn't care. He chopped at it and then came to get Kaylee and I so we could see it. Paul absolutely hates snakes. I think they are kinda cool. After making sure that it was (almost) dead, I picked it up to see just how long it was. Paul's hand is a little over 8 inches and it was at more than twice as long as his hand so I'm gonna guess about 22-24 inches long. If you have any idea what kind of snake this is, let me know. Thanks.

Did I mention that Paul found him while mowing our yard. Right next to my kitchen window? Argh!!!
