Can anyone recognize or name this snake?
It's not too big around....like the size of my baby finger and 15-16 inches long.
It freaked me out anyway. Our kitten Alice was playing with it and like a good mom, I grabbed her away. And grabbed myself away.
Clicking on the image, I believe will enlarge.

It sure looks like a copperhead snake which is poisonous. However, the experts say the copperhead is not in southern Florida only in the panhandle of Florida. They say that if you think its a copperhead, its probably a young cottonmouth. The picture doesn't show a closeup of his head so it's hard to tell. On the other hand, I'm glad you didn't get close enough to take a closeup of his head. Hopefully he went far away.
I made a mistake. It looks more like a mole kingsnake. It is not poisonous. Usually they are found in the panhandle, but one traveled south to you. It was interesting checking it out. Thanks for the challenge.
Baby boa?
