Dekay's Brown snake, harmless little bug eater that doesn't get much over a foot long.

Fossorial, meaning at or under ground level. They live in and under leaf litter, mulch, and loose boards or stuff lying in the yard. They thrive in urban flowerbeds and under mulches where they find snails, slugs, earthworms, and bugs. Very common with a huge native range over most all of the eastern US.

Not to be confused with the Australian Brown snake with is much much bigger and highly venomous and an entirely different family of snakes.

If we're thinking of the same red bellied it is the same family as Dekay's.

Storeria dekayi
Storeria occipitomaculata

We got red bellied down here as well.

Looks longer than 12”(typical for Dekays is 12”)

Almost wanted to say bull snake and it some similarities to a garter snake
