I’ve been doing some gardening in Ocean County and saw 2 different snakes any ideas on the type?

1 is all gray w/orangeish yellow ring by head and the other looks like a leopard a rusty brown w/black oval spots both are only about 1 foot long

Are you talking about Ocean County, New Jersey? If so, then the first one is definitely a northern ring neck snake. The second one is probably a juvenile black rat snake, but an eastern milk snake also slightly fits the description. All are harmless and nothing to worry about.
