I saw a picture of one, but I just can't put my finger on it.

Rainbow snake.
http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herpetology/fl-guide/faranciaerytrogramma.htm
Scientific name: Farancia erytrogramma.
It's a harmless, non-venomous snake.
It's aquatic and a good burrower. It spends much of its life under floating vegetation and within banks on water's edges. It has been found under shorline debris including spanish moss and logs. It has been plowed up in fields several hundred yards from the nearest water. It is sometimes observed crossing roads at night, especially during or after heavy rains. If captured, it may press its pointed tail tip into one's hand. The tail is totally harmless and cannot sting or even break the skin.

Nah, rainbows have red stripes on a glossy black background.... I've seen one in person, it's hard to find good pics....
Of course it was kinda dark..... and quite a while back.... I still like to think of him as a mud with stripes.....
red with brown stripes.... a photo would help.... I'll go through the field guides tomorrow when I'm more awake.....

It's either a banded water snake, or a ribbon snake, both are non-venom

I wouldn't put a finger on it either. Sounds dangerous. LOL
