If you leave the snake alone it will not bother you. Your living in Florida there are far more dangerous wildlife then the Coral Snake. It is very difficult for the Coral Snake to bite you. So let it be, don't pick it up. I'd be more concerned on walking up on a Rattle Snake or Water Moccasin before a Coral Snake. Water Moccasin's can be very aggressive during matting season. The Coral Snake will boogey out of the way once it sees you or your pet. A Water Moccasin may just chase you. Its amazing you saw the Coral Snake as they are nocturnal hunters.
