Identification Request!

Hi all!

Hope everyone's been well! Just to catch everyone up, my Granite Carpet Python and my Ball Python are doing great.

I saw this snake outside of my place in Ocean Ridge Florida on the east coast, very close to the beach:

I'm worried because my mom walks our dogs (day and night) right in the area that I spotted the snake, is this cause for concern?

Thanks!

Looks like either an eastern racer. Harmless

I was thinking racer but wasn't sure. You should post that to the monthly photo contest.
