What kind of snake shakes his tail like a Rattlesnake, but has no rattle? Gray like pattern.

Several non-venomous snakes mimic rattlesnakes by rattling their tails, and when it's done among dry leaves it can sound a lot like a rattler.

Some of the ones that come to mind that could have a gray-like pattern are:
Coachwhips
Ratsnakes (Grey Ratsnakes)
Pine snakes
...and a few more.

Can you give us a few more details? How long was it, what other colors did it have, etc...

Have a good one!
