The ring-necked snake or ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus) is a small, non-venomous snake found in North America. It is mostly grey or brown with a colorful belly side and a colorful ring behind its head. The snake is secretive and is rarely seen during the daytime. It is slightly venomous, but its nonaggressive nature and small, rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle it. The snakes' diet consist of small prey such as earthworms, slugs, and salamanders.
Order: Squamata > Suborder: Serpentes > Family: Colubridae > Genus: Diadophis > Species: Diadophis punctatus

When I was mowing grass in Southeast Texas a snake kinda this color very light shiny grey this but about 1 1/2 feet long? was seen after i mowed a section the grass was short but the house we brought that is in a city had not been lived in for about a year. Could this have been the same kinda snake or do you know what kind it could be it did not have any spots on it but i think all I saw was the belly.
