Does anyone know what kind of snake this is?

Can anyone tell me what kind of snake this is? we have found a couple of them... and we think (and hope) that our cat brought this one into the basement. Thanks for any feedback....

And sorry to all of you snake lovers... my cat apparently doesn't feel the same.

Storeria Dekayi - Dekay brown snake.

A gardener's best friend, they eat slugs.

Also make great pets, take well to earthworms also.
