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 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. ; )

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.
