Help me Identifty this snake

I found it in Lowe's Hardware store located in Ocean county, New jersey 08723. We often get stow away animals in with our plant shipments so before I release it in some near by woods, I want to make sure it is a native species. It is 9 inches long and as thick as a pencil so it is safe to say it just hatched this week. Black base color with light gray/tan horizontal bands across its body, a white chin with black stripes. My best guess is it might be an northern water snake , with a small chance it could be a california king snake or a black rat sake. Any input would be appreciated

I'll go along with watersnake...but disagree with your assessment that it is safe to say it just hatched this week
