I encountered this little chap in the garden today - specifically I lifted a stone and he was there.
Having convinced myself that he was a slow worm I thought I would just go online to check.. which was interesting in two ways. Firstly, slow worms are a Eurasian species and so he wasn't a slow worm. Secondly there was a surprisingly large number of different options when I searched for 'Snakes in Virginia' (it is a pretty big area with very diverse climate and habitats if you also count West Virginia). My best guess is that he is an Earth Snake..
Could you ask him to leave. I don't like snakes
