The resident "snake expert" here says the arrow head shape on his head makes it a corn snake. I have no idea...wife wants to leave work!!

I mean she can leave and say she’s scared!!
But that’s not a venomous snake, rat snake or chicken snake depending on where you are located.

Most definitely a Rat snake. Good little guy to have around.
Unless you'd rather have rats.

Retract my previous post. I was wrong. Juvenile rat and corn snakes are difficult to identify especially due to regional variations.
That is a baby corn snake.
Confirmed by my long time LSU snakeologist friend. .
The day after I posted I looked more closely at the black pattern on the head and remembered the slight difference between a baby rat and corn.
Now, anyone that said 'Rat Snake" wasn't wrong as all corn snakes are technically rat snakes but all rat snakes aren't corn snakes.
Confusing... yes.
When people start a "Snake ID" thread it would help if they included a location.
That little guy is going to turn a beautiful red/orange color when he grows up depending on his location

Pretty sure I have never seen one. Not even sure if my area has them.
