How do they look like the same snake? I assure you they are not. If nothing else, just look at the head shape. First photo has a very blunt face, last 2 photos have a very pointed face. Not to mention colors are completely different. First photo has a red belly (hence the name), white sides, and a brownish back. Last 2 photos have a pale brown back with solid pink belly, with the two colors meeting on the side of the body. First snake doesn't have the colors meeting in the same area as the other snake. I don't know what else to tell you if you still think they are the same snake, but I promise I know what I'm talking about :)
The first photo is a red-bellied snake, Storeria occipitomaculata. The second and third photos are a worm snake. Please separate the photos into their own spottings, thanks!

I agree completly!
Ashley is correct. The first snake is a red-bellied, Storeria occipitomaculata. The snake on photos 2 & 3 is a wormsnake, Carpophis amoenus.
