Though still beautiful, the Eastern Coral snake is not quite as vividly or cleanly colored as the Arizona species. They are however, the most toxic in the U.S. The color sequence is identical to the Arizona Coral, but their banding is not as “clean” and they often have black speckling on their yellow and red scales. These snakes eat frogs, lizards and small snakes. Humans are not part of their diet, they will only bite a person if disturbed or handled. snakebuddies.net

"Bodies scrambled through the crowded chaos of humanity to give way for Narke and what he carried: a deadly snake thrashing in a glass container. Red touches yellow, you’re a dead fellow, and this colorful serpent wanted out of the cramped jar." #airesford

Texas Coral Snake (Micrurus tener) - a photo on Flickriver
Texas Coral Snake - Has the most potent toxin in the United States. Although they are usually a docile snake, they can and will bite if abused. Contrary to popular belief, Coral snakes do not have to "chew" their intended victim to inject venom. They are in the same family of snakes as the cobras, sea snakes and mamba's. They are found throughout the eastern, central and south Texas.

Yesterday the family went out in the hills East of Riverton. We were rock hunting and picnicking and enjoying a spring day. Patrick, our son in-law yelled out saying, "come look at this big den of snakes". We all tip toed in that direction for a look. Here is what we saw. (Image 4 of 5)
