Diadophis punctatus
Snake. Brown on top with yellow, orange and red markings on the belly. Yellow orange band near the head. Discovered in the rocks around my children's swing set. Approximately 8-12 inches long. About as big around as a dime. Very fast despite the cool temperature.
Under the retaining wall supporting the swing set enclosure.
I erased my suggestion due to conflicting range information on NeilDazets link. :/ The belly spots still seem more like the stictogenys to me.
The subspecies I find here are usually tiny. You get the decent sized ones over there. :)
