was gardening and this little guy slithered in-between my feet... it's not a copperhead, doesn't have the token head features they have, so.... any ideas?

Kind'a resembles a king snake but I don't have my book handy. VDGIF has a nice snake book, shows all Va. snakes and gives a little info on each such as bites or doesn't.

It may be a corn snake. They look similar.

Its a corn snake...I have one in a tank about 15 feet from me. They're helpful around the garden/home.

No, you shouldn 't have. The way I see it, any of the "harmless" snakes are eating the same food that the venomous snakes like, so having them around isn't bad. Now, the Black Racers even eat Copperheads.
