I do have an idea what you have found, but would like to see a photo before commenting on what it is.

Is his tongue red with a black tip? That indicates some type of garter snake (thamnophis).

I'm thinking a Dekay's too, but with only limited info, I really can't be sure.
Please get some pics for us!

Cody, Dekayi snakes eat slugs and earth worms. They can swim, but don't do it like water snakes, garters and ribbons.
