I came across the first wild life at my new place. Somebody may know what this is, I personally am not a snake guy. This is in central Florida.

I am no expert on snakes, but it looks like a corn snake to me.
Almost stepped on this guy one year.
Copper Head....sure fire way to tell is the pit in front of the eye and the eye is a slit pupil. The are a pit viper.
Corn snake...harmless...Round pupil and no pit. Head is shaped different too.

I freakin' HATE snakes. I don't care if there are good guys. They just creep me out and are EVERYWHERE down there.
Here's your links to ID Florida snakes. The first one is a YES/NO series of questions that give you a probable answer and photo. The second link is a visual guide to commonly seen species. Funny how they don't include Burmese Pythons.

It's most certainly a red rat snake. It will have a black and white checkerboard on its underside.
.
One of the most docile snakes one could ever encounter. Will not typically bite, even if cornered and/or handled. Not that it would hurt, even if they did bite. They have no real teeth, so to speak.

Yeah, a copper head when threatened will prepare to attack. They are not even remotely friendly and will bite. A corn snake is really really docile.
