I’m disappointed with this question based on your username.

Garter snake. There’s lots of different color morphs. And they can be surprisingly large.

I think that's a pure Alabama Black Snake.

Brown snake! I remember my teacher kept it as a pet in class and we would catch bugs and worms to feed her!

Could be a Northern Water Snake. Although the ones I’ve seen around here have an orangish tint to the underside.

Edited to add: I think the brown snake ID is correct.

Dekay's brown, as mentioned. Put it back outside, it will keep the rodent population in check. Edit: another user brought to my attention that Dekay's do not eat rodents, but primarily feed on small invertebrates. Still good to have, especially if you have a garden.

downright huge even if you're going to call every snake you see a garter. That python? It's a Garter. The copperhead over there? Also a garter. This garter pictured is one of the "Dekays Brown Snake" ones, and you can tell because of the way it is.

Brown snake harmless. I freaked out when I found one similar a few years ago laying in the sun on my patio. Neighbor came over and told me they are common and live in the rocky area in our yard

Lucky it wasn’t a northern water snake, the one I met in milburn wasn’t friendly, not in least

One of the greatest disappointments of my life was learning as a small boy that the grocery store chain is not the one who sells dynamite to Wile E. Coyote

That's Jericho Cornflash he's a really chill guy, like the least toxic dude he's super chill. Last I saw him he was hucking ears of corn over at the market.

I’m pretty sure it’s a highly venomous king cobra snake. Please be careful When handling not to take the slime coating off of it as it can possibly get a disease from poor handling

Only the eastern rattler and cottonmouth are dangerous snakes in this state. That's neither. The only dangerous wildlife here is bipedal. The rest are scared of the humans.

That is the problem with what we call common names, actually. There are probably a dozen or more species of snakes in the US that people call rat snakes, but they are all distinct species. Here in NJ, I believe we have black rat snakes, which are different from these guys.

On South Park they said a snake was harmless. Then it ate a man in like 3 seconds and shat out the skeleton. So…be careful
