Red and yellow a kill a fellow.
Red and black venom lack.
That is the poem I was taught as a kid to distinguish coral snakes from their mimics and although one should have more concrete proof than poetry before dealing with a potentially highly venomous snake, if repeated correctly it is accurate. Coral snakes have red and yellow touching. if there is red and black it is a host of copycats.
I was recently out filming on an island in the Sabine River when I caught, filmed, photographed and released this beautiful Louisiana milk snake. I have searched out snakes my whole life in this area and only found two of these and they were both in the last 90 days.
no it’s red TOUCHING yellow kill a fellow, red TOUCHING black friend of jack. there are black bands brtween the red and yellow on this snake.
