Dm it to me lol I'd love to see it I've only ever seen 1 snake and it was a little corn snake I believe it was called

Oh wow. I'm from south Louisiana and I live in Texas, and I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say that. Ever. Never. Lucky you.

Is this where we go to post snake pictures?

Also, I'm pretty certain it's a southern death adder. 100%.

We have Black Rat Snakes in good numbers. We also have a fair number of Osage Copperheads. The Rat Snakes eat some but not all.

This one we caught last night. Daughter wanted to know if it was a boy or girl.

Do they have rat snakes in Florida?

Yes, lots. Lots of Florida-unique variants. Florida is subtropical across the entire state and tropical at the southernmost tip, so it creates lots of variation from species common to temperate parts of the US.

Where I am in far north Florida, there’s a variant of the grey rat snake called the white oak snake. Its a grey rat snake that keeps it juvenile coloration its entire life. They regularly get around 8 feet here.

That's where they have the myth about Saint Patrick shooing away all the snakes!
I'm glad that the only poisonous snake around here is incredibly rare, and feel blessed to see the occasional garter snake slithering in the grass. We have many snakes in Wisconsin, but most are fairly non-threatening.

Instead of relocating it, which is rather cruel, simply get a garden tool, and shoo it away every time you see it in the coop. After a few times, it should stay away.

Relocating a rat snake to essentially the same habitat minus the chicken eggs is hardly cruel and "shoo it away" doesn't work at all in my experience.

Yeah. As opposed to outright killing the snake, relocation is pretty merciful.

Oh. And yes I forgot that. I am in south Florida. Miami area.

Then it is definitely a racer as @OhZark Biddies said. The plain bellied water snake in your area has a completely different pattern than the ones here in the Midwest.
