I caught him ( to show the rest of family and I'll release him in backyard later) and he is small like a Garden snake but is brown with a yellow ring around his neck. I live in South NJ. Does anyone have an Idea the kind of snake I found is? Thanks

You know, as I brought the snake upstairs in a reptile container I was hoping that the family wasn't hanging around in the basement too, I like reptiles but the thought of a full grown snake (Some longer than I am tall, I'm not kidding.) Doesn't sit too well with me!

It could be either the Northern or Southern Ringneck snake. Take a look at page 8 of this document for positive ID.

You fond a Ringneck snake- full grown they get to about 10"- they are a pretty small species.
It was inside because it was looking for shelter for the winter. it entered a small crack somewhere and got trapped in the basement. Basements are NOT where they want to be. Too damp, too hard to get out of, and too many people around.
Let it go in the back yard away form the house and you'll never see it again.

the position did you come across it? I take it that because you aspect out the Adder, Grass Snake and tender Snake, you're interior the united kingdom? if so, those are the in reality community snakes. it must be feral (ie escaped from captivity, or the offspring of one that has). it truly is totally uncommon for a feral reptile to proceed to exist more advantageous than some days, so in spite of you've were given, it changed into fairly fortunate to discover someone to look after it. Ring your community zoo, or ask your vet in the experience that they have got were given anybody there who can furnish you with a distinct id.

I don't know what kind it is but what you should be worried about is "where there is a baby snake there is ALWAYS a mom or dad snake around too"!
