I'm not an expert, but I believe they call that a "Coach Whip" or "Whip Snake".

That snake should be considered a "friend", but they might eat eggs when they get big. I doubt it would bite you if you could catch it, but infections can be serious from non-poisonous snake bites.

Its a very pretty snake though./...

They will eat young birds and eggs. I would relocate it if you see it again. Non poisonous but it will bite you if it gets a chance lol. Try to get it in a garbage can and drive it as far away as you can.
