Found on the sidewalk at work

[BPLuvr]

I have heard of snakes around here but in the year I have been on site I haven't seen one. Port Newark New Jersey is just not the place I would expect to see snakes. One of the employees while walking came across this little one and called me knowing I keep BP's. I have seen comon brown's, garters, and corns around but this one was a very light beige. I wished I had my phone for a better pic. It's head was really small and black and it appeared to be flattened to absorb heat from the sidewalk. Stil I moved it away into the bushes since it was right outside of the door of the office building on site. Any suggestions as to what it is?

Hard to tell, but looks to me like some kind of dekays snake.

Yup, I second dekayi.

Yeah I wished I had my phone but he said he had pictures. Funny thing was I walk out of my office into the main lobby around 3Pm and low and behold there was a small garter trying to cruise across the marble flooring (luckily noone else saw it first). Picked that one up and brought it out to the pond. Been there a year and haven't seen any now two in one day. Thanks for the info I will look into it as I haven't seen one like that before and I have lived in some rural areas in nj.
