What kind of snake

[rlee857610]

I live in Atlanta GA, can anyone tell me what kind of snake this is on my steps?

[StudentoReptile]

A very pretty Dekay's brown snake. Harmless predator of worms, slugs and other invertebrates.

[SSSSnakes]

Very nice find. Storeria dekayi

Thanks guys, yes it is a really nice looking snake. Had a hard time getting it to move off the front steps so my wife could get in the door.
