For a defense\u00a0mechanism, the coral snake uses disruptive patterning, confusing a threat, as they\u00a0won&#8217;t know which end is the head or tail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Eastern Coral Snake (venomous), often referred to as the candy stick snake, is one of the most misidentified\u00a0snakes\u00a0found in Florida. Resembling scarlet\u00a0king snakes\u00a0(non-venomous) in color, having bands of red, black, and yellow, the venomous eastern\u00a0coral\u00a0snake, will have red bands touching yellow. Both snakes inhabit the same areas. Just remember, &#8220;if red touches yellow, your a dead fellow&#8221; and &#8220;if red touches black, you are alright jack&#8221;. The coral snake is extremely venomous, and is capable of injecting a neurotoxic venom, that is deadly.<\/p>\n<p>As a defense mechanism, the coral\u00a0snake\u00a0will\u00a0erratically\u00a0<wbr \/>its tail, using disruptive patterning, so a predator\u00a0can&#8217;t distinguish the head from the tail. They are found throughout the entire state of Florida. Coral snakes will strike if too close or agitated, so it is best to keep your distance. Coral snakes will often feed on rodents, amphibians, and other snakes, and can live up to 8 years in the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eastern Coral Snake\u00a0(Micrurus\u00a0fulvius) Venomous Length:\u00a018&#8243;-31&#8243; Diet:\u00a0Carnivorous, eating amphibians, rodents, and insects.
