So I will leave the ID to the experts which isn't me!

In Florida I would have guessed a king snake. “Red on Black, friend of Jack; Red on Yellow, Kill a Fellow “. Thats what I remember. Hope I’m right

Ha! That's the first thing that ran through my head when I saw the snake! A mentor of mine taught me that rhyme when I was about 11, and it has stuck with me for the many decades since.
