It is a baby black racer. Harmless, unless you are a frog or a small mouse!
Glad you did not kill it.

Southern black racer, Coluber constrictor priapus, the most common snake in Florida. If you'll give it a little more thought, I think you'll agree the snake was exhibiting defensive, not aggressive behavior.
The attached website may be one you'll want to refer to in the future.
