Based on the OP's location (Miss.) it shouldn't be a fox snake. Looks alot like the integrade rats we get around here.
Nice finds

Not sure about their geographic distribution, but the especially the first one looks like a Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri (Texas ratsnake) to me!

The first one looks like an intergrade of some kind and the second one like a Grey Rat in the blue. The give away on the grey is that red colouring showing through on the sides.
Kudos to you for releasing the first one, all I can say is that if it was me a whole different scenario would have occurred, no matter what it is, it is gorgeous.

I think the first one IS an intergrade and it's the same one we found a few weeks back. We toyed with the idea of keeping it since we couldn't readily identify it. The head looks different than the rat snakes we usually find around here and the scales are different too but considering I have 11 snakes in my tiny little house right now and two are in quarantine, I didn't have any place to keep it so we had to release it. 
The second is a normal grey rat snake that was given to me for relocation and since I have a rodent problem in my barn (don't we all?), that's where "Stinky" was relocated to. He's doing well and getting fat and yes, he was in blue.

NICE LOOKING REPTILES !!!
I only have three in the house, but due to a verbal agreement with the
wife, That's The Limit for me so any wild caughts I might aquire now would
be photograph and release as well. . . But tears would be shed as it crawled
away !!!
My first (and oldest) is a wild caught Corn. Still my favorite simply because
it's the snake I always wanted, but had to wait unitl I was in my early 50s
to get, so it's special.
Thanks for sharing the pics
