snake identification

While only 4 venomous species they each have sub species.
Several snakes come to mind,mostly non venoumous but not all.
northern ringneck snake, the eastern milk snake or very young ringed water snake and the eastern massasauga rattlesnake and pygmy--have scales that form white ringlike patterns
The northern ringneck is like the decay that likes house foundations not inside and has but one ring at neck often slate or dark grey
Pit vipers even young have ace of spades shaped head,and pupils in eyes that are slits versus round.They are however limited in both those sub species to a narrow band of land like the trace and lbl extending up into ky.
Small and non aggressive yet place themselves where one places feet like steps.
Best guess the eastern milk snake is most likly the culprit unless by a body of water.
Most non venoumous attempt to immitate the venomous somewhat as a defence mechanism like shaking tail etc.no rattles however.
Place the two side by side the differences are easily seen,shape of head ,thickness of body,and when the real thing is viewed you dont wonder if it is,you know it is.

With the limited information you have given, the odds are it is a small garter snake. There are approx 20-30 subspecies of this snake, all with a little different markings. some are darker with rings, some have stripes that can be yellow or blue a lot of people call these reacers, but ultimately they are garter snakes. The other option could be a ring neck king snake.
One of the prior posts said it was too small to be a garter snake, but these too are born small and have to grow up

I was kidding about the white striped house snake I just named it that because you said it had white stripes and you found it in your house.
