I also just found one of these, although mine seems to be quite docile and doesn't mind being handled.
I caught a baby black racer a few days later but let him go because he was very aggressive.

I believe another name for the snake you and I have is Florida Brown Snake and they do not get much bigger than what you have there according to what I have found online.

It actually is a Dekay's snake or a brown earth snake, and it isn't venomous it eats worms and slugs

It could be a Rattle Snake, or something as simple as a Hog Snake snake, which is not poison at all.  Take a picture, and send it to a game warden for I D.

I found a small snake in the garden area today. It was dead, it looked like a baby (about 12 inches long. It seemed to have fused eyes and the mouth was opened. It is a beautiful shade of baby blue or lilac with clear orange-red spots on its back. I can't find it in any description of Snakes in Florida.

If a snake is poisonous as an adult, then it is also poisonous as a juvenile. It is not poisonous.

If it has a pointed head it is always poisonous.  If the eyes are cat like then they are also poisonous.  There is a third way to tell if one is poisonous but I can't remember what the game wardens told me.
