did my DH kill. The workers for my duck cage said it was a ground rattler last week but it doesn't look like anything in my snake book or what I could find on the internet. I have a feeling it is a ribbon snake

Could be a garter snake?

Looks like the Common Garter Snake Thamnophis sirtalis sub. sirtalis. Information below is from eNature.com. Hope this helps you out.

Subspecies: Eastern (T. s. sirtalis), stripes normally yellow, occasionally brownish, greenish, or bluish, double row of alternating spots usually between stripes; some specimens lack stripes, some are all black, others with red between dorsal scales; s. Ontario, e. Minnesota, e. Iowa, e. and s. Missouri, Arkansas, and e. Texas to Atlantic coast from s. Newfoundland to s. Florida.
