What is this? Found it on the side of the house.

It looks like a baby Copperhead.

Thinking garter snake or a species of ratsnake, it doesn't have the typical copperhead markings.

I was thinking it was a Dekay's Brown but wasn't sure. The head shape worried me though.

After a good look, I agree with you, probably a reddish colored dekays.

Yeah, you're right. It looks closer to the snake then a baby Copperhead would. My bad :redface:

Definitely a Brown Snake.

I have a lot of brown snake adults and babies in my backyard during the summer, and usually the babies are more of a red color, just like what you're seeing. Cute snakes for sure. :)
