I am suspecting this may be a Southern Black Racer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_black_racer http://srelherp.uga.edu/snakes/colcon.htm or perhaps an Eastern Black Rat Snake http://srelherp.uga.edu/snakes/elaobs.htm I will leave the ID to the experts. I figured I could give you a place to start. Hope this helps! http://srelherp.uga.edu/snakes/index.htm
