In regards to Shark Valley, during the daylight hours:
Banded outnumber Green Water snakes easily 8:1 if not 10:1.
Very cool to find out the Greens are out at night in force.
Racers are by far the most commonly seen snakes, then Florida Banded Water and Yellow Ratsnakes, then Striped Crayfish snakes. Mud snakes turn up frequently, but I've never seen one alive and well; there's bits of them on the road kind of a lot. Garters, Ribbons, and Cottonmouths are infrequent.
There are a few Brown Water snakes around the Borrow Pit Trail by the Tower. Sadly, I've seen more pythons than Pygmy Rattlers.
Finishing off with the snakes I've seen the least of: maybe 5 Florida Kingsnakes in 2 years (1 hit by a bike), 2 Cornsnakes, and 1 Rough Green snake (hit by bike). All these observations are in the course of working at the concession.
