Im not really into those kinds of snakes, but if I had to make a guess, I'd say you have some kind of an earth snake or worm snake. These will typically not get too much bigger than they are right now, and they'll feed well on earthworms.

Someone else may be able to give you an exact species and common name, but the general appearance has me pretty convinced they're in that "group" of snakes. Totally harmless, and kinda neat.
