I found this in my neighborhood. Did not know what it was at the time. I belive it is a young python.

Looks like a common Red Rat Snake and if it was (it's cool) and here is a link for you that might come in handy

Another interesting link / map I found on these pests that need wiped out:

Burmese python (Python molurus) - EDDMapS State Distribution

Python molurus ssp. bivittatus

www.eddmaps.org

And somehow one (and quite large) has made it all the way to Big Pine Key That is a lot of salt water to swim across or it crawled all the way across the 7 mile bridge

Thanks Dave, I believe you are right (as usual) The head marks are similar but on closer inspection the sides are different thanks for the correction

My Daddy has a different outlook when it comes to Snakes which I can agree with at times... "Shoot 1st, Identify later" LOL
