Looks like a baby banded watersnake. (nerodia fasciata)

Forget the ratsnake thing, it's a Midland Water Snake(Nerodia sipedon ssp.) . I left you a post and pic of one on the "what is it" forum.
best regards, ~Doug

definitely a nerodia but I am leaning more towards nerodia sipedon
northern water snake or sub species
we have them here in the Southeast Tennessee, Northern Georgia, and Northeast Alabama area

He did say at first he thought it was a water snake, but we're just not accustomed to seeing them as babies. Thanks, both of you.

No, its a watersnake, a Natracine snake.
