I never knew their bite was THIS serious. You just hardly ever hear of anyone getting bit by a coral snake? Guy sure didn't know what he was doing.

Initially thinking the serpent was a harmless king snake, Phillips decided to catch it and give the snake as a gift to his older brother, who has owned snakes in the past
Red on yellow kill a fellow, red on black friend of jack

Do injuries automatically generate a gofundme account these days?

I've always read how hard it was for their venom to actually get into your bloodstream when bitten. Guy is extremely unlucky. Sucks.

Most people get bit by picking them up mistaking them for milk snakes.
Bad part they are one of the most poisonous snakes in North America.
Good part is their fangs are so small the people
who get bit do it by picking them up. Coral snakes would have to bite you on the skin between your fingers, skin between your toes, or other areas where you have loose skin. Their fangs need loose skin for the fangs to get the venom into your blood stream.
I heard years ago someone died in Louisiana by a coral snake by crawling in their buttocks area and biting them while camping in the Atchafalaya Basin.

Coralsnakes are upland species You wouldn't find them in the atchafalaya basin.

I pick up all snakes with a shovel! Period!

Elapids. The tissue-digesting horror of the vipers is gruesome, but give me a leg amputation any day over the neurotoxic brain stem shutdown of the elapids.

This is one really dangerous myth. Coral snakes can strike. They have relatively weak fangs, but they can penetrate your skin and not just in loose places.

This is the exact reason I kill every snake I see

How can you be that careless and just assume it's a king snake????

I seen two in my lifetime in the Basin and three in my lifetime.
One at the camp ground the boy scouts use which is higher land in the basin.
A boy caught it and wanted to keep it as a pet.
The other on a friends hunting lease in the basin near the Phillips canals on the West side of the river.
One at camp Avondale when I was little near Clinton. My father was running the critter race when we went camping. We caught it near some grass next to our camping area. We killed a cotton mouth, but we kept this to enter in the criter race. We got disqualified and the hippie snake man who had a section for us to go to took the snake from us.
He taught us about how dangerous this snake was.
Damn long haired hippies run all the fun.
