    I think the Rascals snake was a black racer, and yours appears to be grey rat snake. Racers don't climb very often. I used to catch them both all the time in Fla during my youth.

    Hi,

    I don't mean to scare you, but always treat a snake as if venomous if you're not sure about it.... the snake in the photo is a Coral snake and very very venomous with a neurotoxic venom.
    The saying goes...

    "Red touches Black... friend of Jack

    Red touches yellow Kills a Fellow"!

    Stay clear of those dudes! Luck for you in Florida, Dade County Rescue carries all types of anti-venom and has the ability to transport via their Helicopter....
    You are a lucky person!
