Hello. I was pointed to this forum to post for help with snake ID. I photographed this wild snake in my grass just yesterday. I did my best to try and figure out the species on my own with online "snakes of Illinois" sites, but since I am a "snake noob" and this is obviously not an adult snake I found it difficult.
S. Illinois snake approx. 8-10 inches and "pinky finger" thin. Bright daytime light so he/she is a bit more milky-white/grey in body color, than milky-white.
Thank you
(P.S. my noobish, uneducated guess is eastern white milksnake hehe)
