I spotted a coral snake while hiking in Austin, Texas. He was totally non-aggressive and it was a real pleasure to be able to study him so closely.

  • A friend of mine was hiking the same area a recently and reported he saw the big coral again and she's doing fine.

  • 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.

  • Just a few miles southwest of Austin in the Barton Creek greenbelt.

  • He's a nice size

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • thats a bigg'un

  • actually theres only one the venomous kind. the other is a mimic variety of nonvenomous called a milk snake

  • Iheard that 1 and red on yellow kill a fellow red on black, venom lack

  • actually the red on black one is a whole different species caled the milksnake but the ryme is right

  • yep red on yellow kill a fellow red on black freind of jack

  • 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. ; )

  • I've caught many but this is the largest i've ever seen!! a bite from him and you are in trouble. cool vid
