My neighbor had one in her kitchen. I think it might have entered through the bottom of her retractable screen door.
I had a coral snake slither by my legs in my front yard. I was able to get a quick pic and verified ID. Striping was correct sequence and it had a roundish head with a black nose. I read an article that coral snakes don't have hollow viper fangs. There is a groove behind their fangs so they have to chew on you to inject their venom. Not an aggressive snake but very toxic.
The worm like snake mention before was probably a Brahminy Blindsnake, a native of Asia. I had one on my foot after walking thru the grass in Cape Coral. Looks like an earthworm but no segments, moves like a snake and can stick out it’s tongue. They eat termite and ant larvae and eggs. Sometimes found in pots from a nursery. The snake fell off my foot in the house. I assumed it was a worm and then notice it moved like a snake. I relocated her (all are females-parthenogenesis) by my foundation.
