Welcome to the forums!
It's a Dekay snake as stefan said (storeria dekayi) very easy snakes to care for they feed mostly on worms.

Nice to have you on the forum.
They also love slugs and snails.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Beautiful Dekayi! They love slugs and worms but slugs are their favorites! We have had one now for 2 years. They have the cutest faces! Never bite or musk.

I've never seen one with quite that coloring, unless it's being distorted in the photo.

Re: hi new here need help id snake
I think if the snake is for your son, then let this one go and get a garter. This isn't a very good beginner snake. They like to be cool. Very cool most of the time. Also, being slug/snail specialists, finding food for them can be tough to do year 'round.
