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 !!

Default 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?

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.

Default 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. 😎

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

I use the bands as the cut here marks!

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.

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.
