It is without a doubt a southern ringneck snake. Very common and harmless. They feed primarily on salamanders, but also eat worms, small snakes, frogs, and lizards. They grow to 14 inches long, not 6.

i agree, ringneck snakes, are common in the southeast and are very harmless, they are good to have around and eat slugs and earthworms, adults reach a length of about 6 inches and give birth to live young.
