They have so much junk in their backyard that I bet they are just homing snakes. Hopefully my Snake Away around the perimeter of my house will help. I'm thinking it's a Black Racer Snake. I really don't know though.
Black racers are slender and have a white chin. They are also "grumpy". I gleaned this information from a snake site - it had beautiful pics, but I didn't want to give you the willynillies.

A remarkebly fast species with a bad temper. Although its not venomous the black racer will often bite vigorously when captured. I also read from another site that it is one of the few non venomous snakes that will attack unprovoked. .

Figured I'd brighten your day a bit
