Thank you for the educational training on the coral snake sighting that refutes the traditional rhyme. I used to live in Arizona, but I have never seen a coral with those bands. Wow-a new vicarious experience!
@aliensoup2420

The rhyme is more confusing than helpful - its too hard to remember the proper sequence. My rule is, if you are not 100% positive what it is, don't touch it - and even if you are positive, there is no reason to free handle a snake if you don't have to. I crossed paths with a colorful California corn snake in LA. It looks like a coral snake, but the color sequence is not the same. I knew there were no indigenous coral snakes in California, and that was probably a corn snake, but I did not touch it just to be safe. It was heading toward some women sitting in the grass, so I warned them a snake was coming so they would not freak out. I just watched it and let it go where it wanted to go. I do the same for rattlesnakes on the trail. I stop and let them go their way rather than molest or upset them. I don't like the idea of trying to catch reptiles, even though I used to do it as an adolescent. I prefer to quietly and patiently watch them. I will try to get as close as I can, and sometimes lizards will be pretty tolerant. I got a couple feet from a Chuckwalla while it was eating flowers.

Red touching black, friend of Jack. Red touching yellow, kill a fellow. The rhyme is correct. This content creator is incorrect. The snake in the video is a venomus coral snake... there are no black bands touching red bands. And you have red bands touching the light color bands, be it white, yellow, or cream. The snake NOT being yellow does NOT confirm whether it is a coral or not. It matters only if distinct red and black bands touch... designating a non-venomous scarlet king snake. Regardless, leave snakes alone and treat them with respect as if they were all venomous.

For herping venomous snakes, yeah, I'd go to Arizona. For those not willing to live quite so far out on the edge while herping, Maine is wonderful: a dozen different kinds of snakes and *none* of them are venomous. (Which isn't to say they won't bite if threatened, just that their bite is more likely to kill a human from infection than from venom. There is the odd eastern timber rattler - but they are so uncommon that Maine doesn't count them in their population anymore.)

A coral snake provided my only real venomous snake encounter, in Naples, Florida. I was out at a stables, waiting for a lesson, and it crawled across the path right in front of me: I was wearing boots, so I was not worried. I just watched the snake, and was mildly surprised when it coiled up and watched me. After watching me for several minutes, the snake had had enough, and crawled back through the stalls of one of the horses (the snake was more in danger of being stomped, then the horse of being bit) It was only about a foot and a half. It crawled out the back of the stall, and into the tall grass.

I had an unexpected encounter with a coral snake on my property last summer, which is in the foothills / canyons of the Santa Rita mountain range southeast of Tucson. It was the middle of a hot day and I was running a mower trimmer to cut low an area of tall bear grass. The coral snake came out of the uncut grass section, and actually slithered in my direction, which seemed unusual because of the noise and commotion of the mower trimmer. I was happy to see a new species, and decided to assess some risk and carefully pick it up with my thick gardening gloves. Brought it up to the house to confirm ID with a Sonoran reptile guide. The snake didn't seem to show any particular fear or anxious desire to strike so I took that risk. Of course, I don't know the species well enough if they exhibit warning signs of intent to bite at any given moment. So yeah kids don't try that at home, etc. I let it go without incident.
