Hard to tell from the pic so this is just a guess. Red tail boa? Might be an escape.

That's not a boa, it's a ratsnake. It almost looks like a gray, but they aren't s'posed to range that far south. If that's not a gray that hasn't read the books, it could be a corn. They come in a myriad of colors, even in the wild.

Well it could be aan anerythristic cornsnake. That would have been a great find.
Any more pics?
Sometimes yellows will keep their juvy pattern but I bet its a corn.

Looks like some type of rat snake. The pattern is great, I'm not familiar with the ranges of Elepha in Florida though, otherwise I would gues great plains rat snake. Whatever it is it looks to be a pregnant one at that!

Definitely a corn snake, even before seeing the closer-up pictures. Congrats, you found yourself an anerythristic corn. I've only ever found them dead-on-road.
