When they broke ground in the Fruitland Park area, the contractors ran into a ton of black snakes. Usually the contractors kill or move snakes they find. I remember reading a news story that this particular snake was protected by the state and could not be harmed or even relocated. Apparently they are "good snakes" (not a phrase in my vocabulary) because they eat other snakes... even poisonous ones! Wonder if that was what the O P came upon.
