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.
