Garter snakes.
Harmless
I see no reason to kill them.

Was there a black one? Didn’t see it.
Black one could be a black snake. They are pretty harmless, too.

Garter snake - Wikipedia
The black looking one in the upper right of the one picture that looks like it's looking at your rain gutter? Looks darker but still the garter snake pattern. Maybe less light hitting it in the picture...
