Brown snake. Flattens itself to avoid being picked up with stick.
My pool.
I hope it is a ground snake. I have mulch with lots of bugs under it.
Nice ID AshleyT!
The brown patch on the side of the head and neck give this away as being a Brown Snake. Garter snakes do have a similar pattern, but this is definitely a Brown Snake.
