I jsut went back and looked at your first pic, and I need to add that you need a lot more substrate on your cage bottom. the snake is never going to feel secure without it. also, make sure he's got adequate heat and a water dish that is pushed down into the bedding so taht he can find water when he needs it.

Yeah,his cage was lacking alot ><..

I've filled half of it with the dirt [stuff you get when you buy worms],and put a water dish in the corner,then used a paper towel and a little bit of dirt with a bigger water dish and a heat rock for the other side

On the side with the dirt he was a heat patch [i dont think thats the real name of it]
Stuck to the bottom of his cage warming up his dirt

I had to put him on a plastic thing,when i put him just on the cushion,he would slitther away >< [had to catch him twice]

It looks to me like a Western Worm Snake Carphophis amoenus vermis. Do you live within the range of this snake?
