Eastern Coral Snake

Linked to Reptiles and Amphibians

Details
Terms of Use

Eastern coral snakes (Micrurus fulvius fulvius) have short, fixed fangs in the front of the mouth. The potential seriousness of a bite from this species warrants a universal warning not to pick up a snake in this region of the country, no matter how pretty, without being certain of its identity.
