I'm also going with Storeria dekayi--the dark marking through the eye matches.

Dekay's, or brown snakes, feed mainly on slugs and worms, and are found across most of the US. They are very small, with adults only being around 9 to 13 inches long.

Another indicator that this is a brown snake and not a racer is that it's simply so tiny. A hatchling racer would be more the size of a hatchling corn snake. Can you imagine this guy scarfing down a pinky mouse? ^_^

I want to keep and breed Dekay's one day, just because no one else is doing it.
