Help with identifying!

[Rubys mom]

i need a little help and i didnt know where to put this topic so here it goes.. can anyone tell me what type of snake this is, found it snooping around my Ruby's cage today! quiet a b-day surprise! lol.. it looks like a hatchling from what i can tell! well if it helps i live in PA! i have looked on their identifying snake site and the closest thing it looks like is a queen snake, a northern brown, or a Kirtland’s Snake (but without a red belly)

look up some of davids posts. snakemaster. im pretty sure its a dekays brown snake. i find them all the time here. he had a couple and had their young to. so if you see his pictures itll probably help you know if its that or not. to me it looks like a dekays though.

edit: and on a side note. depending on size of that container they arent a very bit snake. babies are really small. worm small. and the adults i think are around 13inch max. but that was off some random website i read before. biggest one i found i didnt measure but it woulda been around 12-15 inch area if i was to eye it up.

Yea, looks like a DeKay's Brown Snake...Storeria dekayi. They evidently do well on slugs, earthworms, and small guppies...or so I'm told...

Its a brown snake. Yeah I had a bunch born this year. I released them into an area where I saw fit. Lots of slugs, snails, and earth worms. I no longer have any. But I am glad I can help
