i caught a snake on the side of my house it'sabout 10 inches long it has stripes of brown but you can hardly notice a really small head and darker head it's not a lined snake becaus eits belly is whitish/yellowish with no spots or anything ive had him for 2 days he hasent bit me and when i open the cage he comes to my hand,plus the door was open all dya yesterday(accident) and he didnt leave?

I do have an idea what you have found, but would like to see a photo before commenting on what it is.

Is his tongue red with a black tip? That indicates some type of garter snake (thamnophis).

It could be a brown snake

I'm thinking a Dekay's too, but with only limited info, I really can't be sure.
Please get some pics for us!:)

from the description i'd say brown (DeKay's) snake...but, photos will help for a positive id.

Cody, Dekayi snakes eat slugs and earth worms. They can swim, but don't do it like water snakes, garters and ribbons.
