About Coral Snakes


Existing in 11 "old-world" and over 65 "new-world" species, coral snakes are a large family of venomous snakes found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. All coral snakes have a similar striped pattern, including stripes of red, yellow/white, and black. In North America, folk rhymes have have developed regarding the pattern of the colored stripes to tell the highly-venomous coral snakes from non-venomous mimics, including "red on yellow, kill a fellow...red on black, friend of Jack".

Coral snakes feed on smaller snakes, birds, rodents, lizards, and frogs. Some coral snakes are entirely aquatic, while others exist in the ground clutter of rainforests. "New-world" coral snake produce some of the most potent venom of any Western Hemisphere snake, and are considered potentially dangerous to humans.
