Aesculapian snake, I would assume.

Probably correct, how do you know it's definitely not a Smooth Snake? Coronella austriaca. I wasn't sure if it was one or the other.

I'm definitely not a snake expert. It just looks longer and more like an Aesculapian snake to me.

Same, no expert. If it's over 3 feet then it probably is Aesculapian. Hard to get a sense of size reference from the photo but I'd say it's on the longer side.

What is this Snake?

Don't kill snakes! Also, be careful when taking photos of them and don't put yourself in danger when doing so.

Rules:

  1. Include location in posts.
  2. Don't be a jerk.
