Sounds like a ringneck snake.they're really small and have a yellow belly too. They're harmless, I used to have one as a pet.

There are only two kinds of snakes in the world to be worried about. Dead ones and live ones. Better FIND THAT SNAKE.

where are you? In The united states A black snake with a yellow ring round its neck is not poisonous.

Ring the cops to get a snake remover in, its not his fault! The only way apart from knowledge that you can tell it is poisonous is they have wide band like scales on the belly, Pythons just have normal scales.

I don't know but its color seems to be venomous by nature.

Ring neck snake, Not poisonous at all.

If you are in the USA it should not be poisonous. Someone mentioned black and yellow kill a fellow but that refers to the coral snake whose markings are black/yellow/red in that order, the king snake looks similar but the markings are black/red. I think you have the harmless ring snake. You should find it and get it out of there to be sure for your peace of mind but I would not have great fear of a poisonous bite. In the USA you have the coral snake, the rattlesnake, the copperhead and the water moccasin. None of these are black with yellow ring.

The more flashy it is, the more poisonous. It's yellow. On black. So yes, it's poisonous.
