If you're worried that it's poisonous it probably isn't. The only black colored poisonous snake in that part of the country is a Cottonmouth (Water Moccasin). Odds are that it's not one though since there are so many species of snakes in that area. I have attached a link to a site describing the Cottonmouth for your reference. If you have any doubts about the snake then definately stay away from it.

I have also included a link for snakes found in Kentucky. Good luck!
