Our house backs up to native Florida (City calls it a "greenway" with a creek in it, we call it a swamp) so snakes, lizards, bugs (except mosquitos, none of them amazingly), racoons, opossums, armadillos, turtles, rabbits, squirrels, and lots of other critters are around.

Hate to disagree with you but pretty certain that was a Florida Cottonmouth;
Agkistrodon conanti. Look at pics and tell me what you think. The give away is the horizontal line at eye.
Herpetology has fascinated me since I was a kid. I could be wrong but….. worth it to troll you.
