It is a little hard to tell from the pictures but I would put my bet on eastern garter. Do you remember what county of Wisconsin you captured it in? I live in Racine county of Wisconsin and this year I have caught several butlers but all of them have been in Milwaukee. I've never seen a butler in Racine or Kenosha.

Also most snakes I have caught in the fall don't eat as hardy as ones caught in spring/summer. You may have to brumate it for a few months.
