Yes, a coral snake is venomous. They really do not have fangs but the venom flows into the body when they bite, chew, and hold on. Their venom is different than a water moccasin, copperhead, or rattlesnake. The coral snake venom is a neurotoxin (attacking the nervous system) and the pit vipers are a hemotoxin (attacking the blood system),
