What snake is this? (found Austin)

Hi!
My co-worker's son found this snake in his backyard in Austin, TX this morning after some heavy rains. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I agree with Jeff...Texas Ratsnake. Harmless and good to have around.

Sounds good! I made sure to tell her that it's not venomous and wouldn't be any harm to the kids.
thanks!
