Coral snakes are very chill for the most part, but if one were to bite a person they may want to make an immediate hospital visit because their venom is very strong. Luckily coral snake bites in the US are rare.
Thats awesome! I dream of catching a coral snake, but in Baton Rouge Louisiana the Texas and Eastern coral snake boundaries are just to the left and right of where I live. But I can still catch cottonmouths and copperheads. ; )
@pgannon48 The non-venemous type is not a coral snake. It's usually milk snakes that have that red-black pattern. This one was definitely a coral snake though.
Friend, that was a huge Coral...they average about12-24"...next to a 51" we caught in East Texas back in 1957, that is the biggest I have ever seen. Great Video!
And he had a really calm demeanor too. At no time did I get the impression he was the least bit threatened by me. He just didn't like being around me.
you see them around austin from time to time, my sister who lives a few miles south of barton creek lost a dog to one. they are shy so i dont let them worry me that much
He's a nice size

There are 2 types of Coral snakes:
Venemous - Red-on-Yellow, kill a fellow.
Non-venemous - Red-on-black, friend of Jack.
The one in this video was red-on-yellow - venemous.

I heard there less of a threat because they have to chew to inject venom rather than just stab like vipers.
