could be a baby red-belly snake! did you turn it around, and did it have an orangy belly? take a look at this site and the gallery images. it comes in many variants. and wikipedia has a page, too, that lists snakes in arkansas. that's the site i started out with (both links below!) greetings, sabine.http://herpsofarkansas.com/Snake/StoreriaOccipitomaculata
