Question Anyone know what this is?

Hi,

This little snake was caught in Missouri in July, and I wasn't sure what kind it was... Does anyone here know, or have any ideas? The snake was fairly small (under 8-10 inches) and was caught at night. I'd just be curious to know what this litle guy was... Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!!

PS: In the second pic the snake is in a medium sized deli cup if that helps with size comparison... Sorry for the bad pics...

a little foggy of pic but

a northern red belly snake. secretive and can be nocturnal but lives its life hiding and eating slugs, earth worms and soft bodied insects. never much over 10 inches in length. Can be found state wide but appears to be missing in parts of northern west of the big mo.

it's a worm snake, very common to our area. They're commonly found under anything that they can fit under. They're harmless.

It is a worm snake, but their status is "threatened"....
