I've never tested this, but they say a coral snake's mouth is so small it can only bit in a small area such as a finger or toe. We live in a CYV and when they were new in 2011, we had a neighbor find a rattlesnake in his garage. It was soon after that we had installed the garage door screen.

I recommend that for anybody that leaves their garage door up all the time. We do because for one, our washer and dryer are in the garage. Also it keeps out bugs and gators or anything else, like something looking to steal. If they're in the garage, then you know they had to cut the screen to get in, that makes their actions pretty self-explanatory.
