You may have to check other types like commonly kept snakes.  Florida has a lot of different species from past hurricanes and damage to zoos to people having pets and then letting them and the flourish  here in Florida.  It is odd that it coiled up and strikes,  I thought only viper types did that.  I am NO expert though.  Just try thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX though. Just trying to open you up to other options.

That is a grey rat snake, haven't seen one of those in a long time. He WAS a very beneficial snake to have around . They eat mice, rats and roaches. The reason he was in your yard was because you must have had some of those critters there for him to eat.  He was coiled and striking because he was scared.  Left alone he would have wandered off hoping to never see you again.

well  i would have just  picked him up and let him go like the first one but my pappys a big baby when it comes to snakes so i eliminated the fear for him i gess you can say.he thinks im crazy to want to pick up all the snakes that i find i think its from watching to much roc hunter???
