it is called an African Beauty Snake - psammophis sibilans, there are two types, the striped one and the patternless one which you have, they are both classified as the same and you can breed the two types together and have both patternless and stripe offsprings.

it is rear fanged however, the venom has only slight effects on humans, some experience a slight itchy feeling around bite site, however I have been many of times by this exact species and besides the few drop of blood from the bite site no discomfort was experienced, i think only the olive sand snake or mossambique have strong enough venom to show some discomfort to humans.
