I was behind my garage near a pool system, and I see this snake go up through a crack into the garage, so I go in and investigate.
He's about 5 feet? I want to know what kind of snake this is, please help! Thanks.

Looks like a harmless coachwhip to me.

that's a coachwhip alright. It's part of the racer family. non-venomous but will bite if you grab it. Ignore it and it'll go away.

Nice big Eastern Coachwhip. Not that common a snake on the southern side of Houston. You see them more in the piney woods north and east of town but not south.
Harmless, although a little high strung.

Any rats and mice in the area will HIGHLY disagree with that statement. They have a VERY high metabolism and are better for rodent control then any cats in the area.
