The coral snake is a hot and does not deliver its venom in the same manner as an Elapidae (front fanged snakes) and they are listed by the U.S Wildlife Fisheries and parks as venomous. However the western hog nose is not and also as a venomous snake. If they are a hot then I am sorry for the above post and the Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks needs to be notified. My mistake. But then I have been mis informed all the information I am getting from every where is that they are nonvenomous. http://www.pitt.edu/~mcs2/herp/SoNA.html
