I live in Plant City, Florida next to a swamp. I was sweeping the porch about mid-morning when I noticed a snake. I know very little about species of snakes, but I do know there is at least one coral in the area (saw it myself). This looked similar, with red, black and yellow (can't be sure what was next to what) but with muted colors. The snake was black bodied and had red stripes at the end of the tail. It was also thicker bodied than the coral I saw. Everything I have checked gives no explanation for anything of that sort. Any assistance would be helpful
