I thought it was a copperhead at first from my daughters description but after seeing the pic, what is it? 
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance.

I'm not sure but I catch them all the time though, they don't seem any more harmful than a regular garter snake, they are probably a certain kind of garter. They are almost always about 10-12 inches long.

Very common in Texas, we always called them a garden snakes as a generic term. Only snake I kill on sight is a Copperhead, even a rattler will get "relocated". Don't have cottonmouth where I am, so those would get the blade as well. TRDM, I think they now have a shot for folks with herpatology

TRDM is correct, feisty little things too. Make for great pranks at the fire station when you lay one on the table during dinner.

Positive thinking may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
