ID This Baby Snake

I’ve found at least 2 of these in my house in the past week. I think they’ve come in around some old weatherstripping on the front door but any suggestions are welcome.
Sorry for the single pic. Removed the head via razor blade and brought it out to the trash as quickly as I could.

Dekay's brown snake. Doesn’t look to be a baby, they just don’t get big.

Yuuup , what A-bear said. They eat grubs, earthworms, insects, small bugs, etc … basically similar to a garter snake

Baby Cajun Cobra. Not native to South Louisiana, it was brought into the southern U.S. in the 1800's from Southeast Asia and has firmly established itself here.
Usually born in clutches of sixty or eighty, they are highly venomous. The venom is unique in that it vaporizes when the snake is beheaded and is breathed in by its attacker who dies a painful death several days later. If one suspects that he has breathed in the venom of this snake, 10 Hail Marys and 5 Our Fathers are suggested to recommend one's soul to Heaven and possibly lessen the painful death that is certain to ensue.
I have been known to err when it comes to snake identification and this may just be a harmless Dekay's Brown snake.

This is poetry.
And yes, I'm a puss when it comes to snakes. No shame in honesty.

My young son and wife find them in the flower / garden bed all the time, they just pick them up and carry them off into the woods, not even using gloves, and have never been bitten. They are very docile. The only reason they even take them to the woods is so they don't accidentally get chopped by a garden tool.

That is a "notta baby Dekays snake". They are just a little more harmful than an earthworm. Next time, grab your testicles with one hand and pick the snake up with the other and relocate it outside without hurting it. Or, ask your boyfriend to help you.

That’s the main reason I took the head off. It slithered into the playroom with her and the kids and she nearly jumped out of her skin
. I wasn’t all that bothered by it otherwise but I have to at least look tough.
