I've never herped in Florida but I do know that the red rat snake a.k.a. corn snake is native to your state. You can do a Google search and find out what snakes are native to your area. There is probably even a book out with the species native to Florida in it. I have The Repitles and Amphibians of Missouri book which is an excellent book.
When I go herping, I generally pick a road with very few houses on it and lots of trees & fields around it. I drive the road very slowly at night and catch snakes like that. I take a few pictures and turn them loose.
You can also go into fields & in the woods and around old houses and look under rocks, in nooks & crannies and under tin, etc. for snakes. If you go turning over rocks and things, please put them back exactly like you found them. It's bad to destroy herp habitat because they have so little of it left.
Good luck in field herping. It's fun.
