Your snake appears to be a L. t. gentilis x syspila intergrade. It displays features of each form an they intergrade broadly through the Flint Hills (and for some way either direction) of Eastern Kansas.
They're lizard specialists as juveniles. Your animal may or may not accept a domestic mouse (Mus) pinky. If it doesn't, some trickery will be required.
You're caging will need some improvements. A heat source is a MUST. Do not use a hot rock. To digest it's food, the animal will need access to temperatures at least in the low 80's Fahrenheit. Cool temperatures (like those you now have it in) are one part of the stimulus set that sends them into brumation mode.
Hope this helps!
