Awesome looking coral snake.
I love corals but they are quite difficult to keep alive and almost impossible to breed in captivity.
How long have you been keeping her? What conditions? What is she feeding on?

I've only had her a couple of days (she was saved from some cats) and am giving her time to settle in. Then I'm going to offer her live ground snakes. I have her in 4" of cypress with a hide on top as well as under, misting as needed. And I keep her at room temperature (75°f or so degrees) as corals prefer cooler temps. So far its looking well. If she won't feed, I'll donate her to a local venom lab.

Snakes should be taken alright if you have them available. I think the biggest problem is ventilation. They cannot handle bad air so try to provide as many open holes as you can. A friend of mine actually installed a computer fan to the cage and was very successful.
