Just saw one maybe 4" I was raking up leaves around side of house. I'm in port Charlotte. If my son was here he would want to keep it!! Are they ok to be around my small dogs?

I just saw a blue heron kill and consume a rather long black striped snake with a bright orange belly. At least 3 feet long in a wetlands area? What is it? The neck was too far away to see any ring, but it looked non venomous.
