This one was on top of the game camera and fell out while I was changing the batteries. Not venomous but scared the crap out of me.

Rat or a milk snake

Where was this located?
I'm going to say one of the corn snakes, based on the markings on the head.

I see a dead sycamore leaf and torpedo grass two things very prevalent in the Florida Parishes. I'm going with the gray rat snake.
ETA: upon closer inspection that looks more like a dead sweet gum leaf. Still very prevalent in the Florida Parishes. Sweet gums are starting to drop their leaves right now.

If it survived the fall then it wasn't a WGI snake.

You are correct. 100% corn, not a rat. They look very similar as babies but you nailed it with the head pattern. Corns always have that spear point.

So, based on location and color pattern, a juvenile Red Corn Snake?
Posted on 9/18/17 at 5:40 pm to AthensRattler
Agreed, corn.

There are both species throughout the southeast. What differentiates the 2 as neonates is the pattern on the head. Corns always have a spear point that rat snakes lack. Both species have a line through both eyes.

Not if it was found just north of Natchez.
Slowinski's Cornsnake range
But yes, it is a Cornsnake (Pantherophis guttatus).

I wouldn't put too much stock in range maps. I've personally caught a Slowinki's in Ferriday, La. I have caught other snakes, often racers, well outside of the established range maps.
I've never seen or heard of a Sloinski's east of the river, but it wouldn't surprise me since it is a relatively new species. (BTW Ferriday is very close to Natchez.)
However, I've never seen a baby corn snake.
