What kind of snake is this?

Found in my garage this morning.  I'll take it down by the river and let it go today.  After my daughter gets to see it.

It's about a foot long.  I think it's either a rat or fax snake.

Looks like a juvenile black rat snake.

I goggled many images and it looks like it's a fox snake.  Never heard of them but it looks identical to several of the photos.  

BTW, he's down in the woods by Augusta Brewery.  He was cool so I thought I would drop him a good spot if he ever wanted a beer.

I second the juvenile black rat snake. Just a little ole chicken snake.

When I do a search it looks as though they have photos of Fox snakes and Rat Snakes mixed together.  When I first caught it I thought Rat. 

Not that the interweb could be wrong or anything

Kinda hard to tell the juveniles apart between rat snakes and fox snakes, anyway.  Probably more likely a black rat snake just because they are more common.
