The following is the definition of a venomous reptile for Florida regulations. The last sentence states that the only regulated rear-fanged species (ones that require a venomous license) are Keelbacks (Rhabdophis), all Boiga, Boomslangs, Twig or Bird snakes and Stiletto snakes. Everything else is fair game.
