I ask because I know they are so rare. Almost stepped on this this past weekend in central Texas.

Definitely. God makes absolutely amazing creatures. I have never seen a coral snake. Although they are the only neurotoxin snake in North America, they don't have pit viper fangs so they can't deliver much of it in a strike, you have to be fricking around with it at a level 10 to find out about it. Or so I've read.
Awesome find, awesome pics.

They are everywhere near my house in west Houston. I’ve probably my seen 5 or 6 this year. I have seen more if them than moccasins and we live on a small bayou.

I have seen one from a deer stand in about 1973 near Mansfield, La. It was near the base of the tree I was in. I had to walk right near it.
Worked in the woods and hunted most of my life.
Don’t really look for snakes.

coloring seems right for a Coral.
They are usually pretty small and I can't scale it from the picture.

Red next to yella will kill a fella.
Red next to black is a friend of jack.
That’s how I’ve always remembered it.

I killed this one in pollock, La a few years back. That’s the 2nd one I’ve killed on my families land in 10 years.
I tried to upload a more clear picture but evidently this snake is like Bigfoot.

He was fairly small. About 2' long and about as thick as a shotgun barrel.
He was very docile too. I caught movement in front of my while I was walking and noticed him. He just slowly slithered away.

I've been stomping around wooded and rural areas in SW Louisiana for most of my 61 years. Saw 1 probably 50 or so years ago.
