Brown snake with one orange circle right around his head?

this was a brown snake about 10 inches long, kinda skinny, and he had one orange stripe right around his neck/head. what kind of snake was it? should i be afraid?
Answers:
Ringneck not poisonous
Most likely it is a ring-necked snake (Diadophis punctatus). Also, the ringnecks will have a brightly colored belly. If this is the case, they are 100% harmless. www.snakesofarkansas.com has a section with pictures that you can use to compare. With a little respect, you shouldn't fear any snakes. Keep your eyes out, they are amazing creatures.
it was a ringneck snake, they are completly harmless, and actually very gental, they hardly ever bite, and are alot of fun to play with
