All North American Coral Snakes do not have fangs (per say), like Rattler have. In order for a Coral Snake to inject it's venom, it will grab you, skake it's head (like a dog does), and then releases you. I believe that it's fangs are located toward the back of it's mouth, and must ensure that it has broken the skin really good for it's venom to work.
I have heard that a bits from a Coral Snake can be worse than a bite from a Rattler, but not sure if that is true. Also Coral Snakes are very timid snakes. They will run and hide from you if they can.

This is not totally accurate.....Coral snakes' fangs are nowhere near as big as a rattler and their venom differes greatly. I believe Corals have a neurotoxin......their fangs are located in the front of their mouth but are small compared to many other venomous snakes.

he (Wolfman) said that coral snakes don't have fangs like rattlers - it was a confusing wording though

Yeah I got that.....but he said they are rear-fanged which isn't accurate. They are definitely a front-fanged Elapid.

I belive that rhyme only holds true in the U.S. if I'm not mistaken.
