It looks like a Everglades Racer to me (Coluber constrictor paludicola).

Ya learn something new every day! In Florida we have 3 types of racers: Brownchin Racer, Everglades Racer, and the Southern Black Racer.

The Everglades Racer is pictured beautifully by the OP.

Re: Anyone Know What This Is?

My first guess would have been a black racer, didn't even know the swamp had its own species, pretty snake nevertheless
