Hard to tell from such a mini picture. But is could be one of the Obsoleta family. Funny enough Yellow ratsnakes start out with such a pattern. Also Black rats. The reason I do not think it is a corn is because the head pattern is too odd for me.

flip it over . if it has checkers on the belly i could be a corn [anerythristic] . they do exist in the wild in s.e.florida i believe. but more likely a young black rat they have a simular patern to the corn when young.

Apparently the G. P. Rat snake is a subspecies of Corn snake, I have a yound one that has those same colors. Just look up the name above on a search engine to get some detailed pics.

Does the pattern and head structure look like this one? Don't worry about color. There are several variations in the wild. The pic below is a GPRat Snake.

I am not impressed.. In Florida Burmese pythons have been found. Sweden has a real population Thamnophis which should not be there.. LOL
Anything is possible..

"Anything is possible.."
Yea but....since it's a dead ringer for a hatchling quadrivittata or obsoleta intergrade, I'd say thats far more likely than a disjunct population of GPR's in South Carolina

Yes, that's right. I am 99% sure it's a quadrivittata.
