ID Request Snake Id, [Key Largo] on gulf side!

Snake is moving slowly from left to right near the top of the video! Looked to be around 2ft long, best guess :)

Let me know if you cannot see in the video. I am not sure why the quality looks terrible now that I uploaded

I can't say for sure as it may be impossible with just this video, but it could be a Saltmarsh Snake (and / or the race "Mangrove Saltmarsh Snake"). Like a lot of snakes they have multiple colorations, but the Mangrove can be olive green or greenish-brown like that with the darker banding.
