It's an adult Northern Brown Snake. It is tiny and harmless but clearly not lacking in tenacity. Thanks for sharing the video.

Also I would just like to say that while this, and most, snakes are harmless I am under the belief that if you don't know for certain what type of snake you are dealing with you should treat them all as if they are venomous. That is not to say you should fear or kill them but respect them and gave them their space. I only mention this because the snake in the video clearly had opportunity to bite you.
