  • Took this video in a farming field, in South Texas, while working at a wind turbine farm. I know for sure that the red-yellow-and black snake is a Corral Snake. The most poisonous snake in North America. The other snake, I have concluded is a Prairie King Snake from it's scale pattern, but if you want to take a crack at it and identify it as another snake, be my guest. Thanks for checking out this video, and feel free to share it.

    In 1984 the Houston zoo got caught exhibiting a rubber coral snake. Their explanation was the real snakes tended to die. They had a rubber snake on exhibit for 4 years before they were caught by a patron who noticed the snake never moved.

    Looks like a GP Rat Snake, not a King Snake of any kind. The snake appears to be having some noticeable complications due to the venom which isn't the case with the King Snake. Not only that, but this snake wasn't trying to fight at all, it knew it was overmatched, again, not a sign of a King Snake. King snakes usually give 0 f**ks about another snake.

      No they are truly bigger here in Texas. I found a 3.5 foot Coral snake in San Antonio,TX in '99. That guy was so friendly though. I killed it like the young uneducated fool I was and it never tried to bite. I always regret doing that, I thought I was protecting the area where I worked and the home with dogs and neighborhood kids around but really it just wanted to check me out and get some sun before it slinked back onto the cliffside where it lived all its life and would have finished living in peace. As soon as I killed it I felt remorseful and knew it was the wrong action to take. I never did it again though, and over 20 years later I still haven't been graced by another live Coral snake. I guess I don't blame them for blacklisting me after that...

    I'd imagine that was more of a defensive/territorial thing than the Coral trying to eat that guy. Maybe the other way around and the Coral got the better of him? I'm not familiar with Prairie Kings (looked like a juvenile Eastern or Texas Ratsnake to me, but like I said...) But I hope he is and has some immunity to that Coral venom. Such a cool and unique species. Milks look closest to them, head shape wise and stuff but body shape and everything (and ofc the color) def unique on a Coral, at least the ones here in the US. There's some really interesting species of Corals. Edit: now that I'm looking again, that looks like a Grey Ratsnake or Prairie King, so one would change the dynamic a bit but hard to tell from the distance and resolution. But also, that Coral is tiny thickness wise. They usually stick too fossorial snakes down in South America or things like Ringneck Snakes etc. At least afaik, bigger coral species being exceptions obviously.

    im kinda confused at some of these comments. kingsnakes aren't really immuned to all venom, but they are resistant to pit viper venoms. Coral snakes are not pit vipers and are part of the same family that kraits and cobras come from. They also administer their venom differently than how pit vipers do. From what i read up, kingsnakes can and will die rather quickly from coral snake venom, but there are also cases of kingsnakes somehow killing and eating coral snakes as well.
