Welcome our Coral Cobra

[reptileexperts]

Thanks. So obviously the old adage " red to yellow kill a fellow red to black venom lack" doesn't always apply. Wow! Thanks again.

Not Eve in the states since a long nosed snake has red touching yellow! The rules are a good memory aid but in the end if you are using rhymes best to leave the suspicious ones alone. A buddy of mine in Honduras nearly died due to someone telling him a coral snake was a milk snake. The only way to tell the difference externally is by checking the scales between the nostril and eye. 2 would make it a Micrurus and 3 makes it lampropeltus.
