Definitely not a python. The heads up position while cruising reminds me of a black snake. It's hard to tell his length from that picture but I know a Black Indigo can get 8' plus. That's my guess and, if it is, it's as big as they come. They are endangered in FL. Very cool and harmless predator.

I have to agree with this. Beautiful snake...If you like snakes

I really like black snakes, we used to find them all the time in the cornfields up in Illinois. I ran a detassling crew up there when I was in high school, nothing freaked the new kids out quite like a huge snake

We've got a couple Indigo's round here, they keep the rat & mice populations down.

Its a good predator have in your yard.

I made it all they way up to 17 years old before I got a 22 pistol.

They're not only handy, but a lot of fun.

Yes, I'd guess that is a 'blue indigo', [protected species], eats other snakes, and is a very gentle, beautiful creature. You can pick them up with no fear of getting bitten.
