my friend caught this snake in his back yard when he was cutting the grass. he thought it was dead but when he picked it up it moved. its about 5-7 inches long maybe a little longer.

i put it in little critter keeper with some aspen shavings and it stays hidden under the substrate.

i tried looking up native snakes but there are a bunch tht this one kinda looks like.

im planning on keeping it at least for a little while maybe longer if its not hard to keep.

it was caught in louisiana on the west bank of the mississippi river in harvey, louisiana. it was in a busy part of a neighborhood in the back yard of a house my friend said has has seen a few others like this one. anyone know what it could be?
