For the snake's sake, I hope not.

Sorry, I like rhymes and got carried away. Absolutely gorgeous shot of this potentially deadly neighbor.
Thank you for sharing.
By the time you think about and recite your rhyme, you’ll be dead !!

That doesn’t rhyme either !! ;)

Swamp or new development
 
Had a house 5 houses away from the Sharon and saw 2 water mocassins around our yards. Below 44 with a swamp in your backyard what do you think may end up in your yard?

OR…in a panic just look for the black nose.

Never heard anybody say they saw a Coral snake in TV but I knew someone that had a Pygmy Rattle Snake in their lanai. My brother in law killed a Coral Snake in his garage in Harbour Hills.

Coral vs. King Snake
 
I always taught my Paramedic students; “Red on Black, Venom will lack. Red on yellow will kill a fellow “.

All you need to remember is Red on Yellow. 😎

Just chop them up, then don't worry about the rhyme.

I use the bands as the cut here marks!

WAIT WAIT, I know one: "Jack and Jill went up the hill"

Rats, I never heard if they ever got back down.

Well, they may be docile, until they’re not. You can be sure I’ll run the other way regardless of whether they’re a coral snake or a corn snake!

BTW, the manufacturer stopped production of coral snake antivenin in 2006.

... because there haven't been any deaths from one in probably 50 years

Thank you for this. I can never remember this poem but think I might have it memorized now.

I would head in the other direction anyway. :)
