Looks like a Segmented Snake!
LOL! That's a vivid word picture!
I’ve got my assumptions but curious what you all think. Almost stepped on him while walking the perimeter of the plant.
Location: Middle Tennessee. Close to a creek.

I'm going with Rat Snake, probably Gray Rat in your area.
That's your garden variety Tennessee Trouser ya got there.
Rat snake was my guess as well.
+2 Grey Ratsnake
I once saw an elephant in my pajamas.
A yellow-bellied leaf raker? 
I leave 'em all alone, unless it's a venomous snake that poses a potential threat to family and pets. I've only had to do that twice - once when my dog alerted me to a cottonmouth coming through the backyard fence, and once when I found a copperhead lurking in the vegetable garden. The copperhead skin made a nice handle wrap for an osage hunting bow that I built.

OK, what ya’ll think?

There was a 5 foot black rat snake in my garage on Sunday. I tried to show him the door but he juked me and made it under the work bench. Left the garage open for several hours hoping he decided to leave.

Pretty sure that's an Indigo snake... They make great pets!

They are not supposed to be in TN. Interesting.
I knew there was a reason I live in Texas and not TN. Y'all have way to many snakes. 
Apparently there are only 34 species in TN. Only 4 that are venomous.I knew there was a reason I live in Texas and not TN. Y'all have way to many snakes.
I sent the photos and video to the TN Wildlife people for identification. If it is actually an Eastern Indigo I figured they would want to know since it’s not a native species.
His name was Ralph...
Lots of Garter snakes in the yard, even the dogs ignore them. The occasional King or Bull snake slithers through. The Bull's can startle me, a close resemblance to rattlers, though haven't seen any rattlers in the yard, more of a run into hunting and fishing.
Was mowing last week, about 50 degrees, grass was TALL. Came around on another lap and saw a Garter coiled up where I had just mowed. Figured I wacked him. Picked it up to toss over the fence and he was quite alive and uninjured, just too chilled to do much. Put him in the sun and a couple laps later he was gone.
