Photo of Snake ID needed!

Hello folks,

Not sure this is the right forum but I'll start here. Today I was cleaning up a saw dust
bin that the previous owner used for the horse stalls. As I was digging out the
very old sawdust, I threw four baby snakes along with the saw dust with the shovel.
They looked nasty - curled up and looked like they wanted to bite!

I can't find them in my N. American Reptile Guide book. I'm a bit nervous that
they might be rattle snakes. (I'm not a big fan of snakes but I keep trying to convince
myself some a good to have - like black snakes. But these are not black snakes)
Can you help me ID them?

Four pictures - Here's the first.
