That I am not sure of what it is. I was told by a pet store it was a north eastern milk snake but from some pics i have seen it looks like a type of corn. I am not able to offer a pic of it at this time but a few from someone else might help.

While they look very similar to some corns, you should be able to tell the difference by the markings on the head. The milk snake has a " Y " pattern that the bottom points along the length of the snake. http://chicagowildernessmag.org/issues/summer2000/images.summer2000/a8290_15c.jpg
Corns tend to have more of a spearpoint or "Y" facing the other way on the head.

Hope this helps. I am sure there are other differences the more experienced could point out for you.
