Cant see the head all that well, but looks like a banded water snake. I have seen mocassins that color too, but not often. Cant see if that head if diamond shaped or not.

Its called a Brick Snake , pick up a brick and throw it at its head-

Could be a Juvenile Cottonmouth.

That's how I'd handle it.

Classic!!

I think it's a water snake.  If it was my house, I would have already killed the snake, threw it in the woods, and helped my wife clean up her poop!

Thanks for the help.  I thought it was a banded water snake or juvie. cotton mouth.  I didn't kill it, but I did re-locate it back to the woods where it can hopefully get some rats or something.
