Eastern Rat Snake - Pantherophis alleghaniensis (Juvenile)
Thanks for the comments! I did have a chance to admire the head. It was triangular in shape with out the horn. Could it be a immature corn snake, that was a suggestion from someone @ work?
Did you see the head very clearly? It also slightly resembles the Hognose snake but their nose is a dead giveaway.
