Corals aren't bad. They're the one poisonous snake I let live because they are so docile, and have to really work to get their short little fangs into something.
All other poisonous snakes get leaded

Hook, it is a dam snake. Do understand? It is a snake.

That kind is dangerous. Don't care how docile it is.
Some dumb kid could pick it up not knowing...

I'm trying to figure out why you open every thread on snakes when you hate them so much. :lol:

Pulled a couple of anecdotal stories off the web for you Ryder.

" To illustrate how a coral snake will abide some human contact before biting, allow me to relate a couple of true stories. An 11 year-old boy in rural Palm Beach County caught what he knew to be a scarlet kingsnake. A few days later, he was showing it to some friends in his front yard. The snake was draped around the boy's neck for over a half hour when, tiring of being played with, bit the boy in the shoulder. It injected the boy with coral snake venom, thereby ruining his identification of the snake and negating the old wive's tale of the necessity to bite "between the fingers." The boy survived that bite.
Driving home from a talk on snakes one evening, I had a large coral snake (over a meter) in a cage in the cab of my truck. Feeling something move against my leg, I turned on the cab lights to see this huge coral snake trying to hide under my right thigh. It's amazing how quickly one can go from 55 to 0 with no part of one's body on the seat. The snake was touching me, not the other way around, so there was no real danger."

Hook do y'all have alot of them down there? They are pretty rare to see here I have only seen 2 in my life.

 

[chippie]

I think that they are rare everywhere. I have only seen two my entire life. Once when I was a kid and again about 15 years ago.

They do not have fangs. They chew on their prey to get the venom in it to immobilize it.

We see about 7-8 a year.
Chippie, they do have fangs just really small ones.

 

[Deepsouth]

Isn't their fangs in the rear of thief mouth.

 

[Anonymous]

No, they are forward, small, and not retractable like other poisonous snakes

That's still 2 too many.

Hook--
It might be harder to get bit by a coral snake, but if it hurts anything like a copperhead, you'll change your view of 'em especially after you've seen your whole leg turn black from a bite on the foot. btdt.

I'm with Ryder--it's a damn snake.
