Coral Snake Vs (Not Milk Snake) probably Prairie King Snake South Texas

Took this video in a farming field, in South Texas, while working at a wind turbine farm. I know for sure that the red-yellow-and black snake is a Corral Snake. The most poisonous snake in North America. The other snake, I have concluded is a Prairie King Snake from it's scale pattern, but if you want to take a crack at it and identify it as another snake, be my guest. Thanks for checking out this video, and feel free to share it.

In 1984 the Houston zoo got caught exhibiting a rubber coral snake. Their explanation was the real snakes tended to die. They had a rubber snake on exhibit for 4 years before they were caught by a patron who noticed the snake never moved.

[@josephavalos7894]

No they are truly bigger here in Texas. I found a 3.5 foot Coral snake in San Antonio,TX in '99. That guy was so friendly though. I killed it like the young uneducated fool I was and it never tried to bite. I always regret doing that, I thought I was protecting the area where I worked and the home with dogs and neighborhood kids around but really it just wanted to check me out and get some sun before it slinked back onto the cliffside where it lived all its life and would have finished living in peace. As soon as I killed it I felt remorseful and knew it was the wrong action to take. I never did it again though, and over 20 years later I still haven't been graced by another live Coral snake. I guess I don't blame them for blacklisting me after that...

Looks like a GP Rat Snake, not a King Snake of any kind. The snake appears to be having some noticeable complications due to the venom which isn't the case with the King Snake.

I'd imagine that was more of a defensive/territorial thing than the Coral trying to eat that guy. Maybe the other way around and the Coral got the better of him? I'm not familiar with Prairie Kings (looked like a juvenile Eastern or Texas Ratsnake to me, but like I said...) But I hope he is and has some immunity to that Coral venom. Such a cool and unique species. Milks look closest to them, head shape wise and stuff but body shape and everything (and ofc the color) def unique on a Coral, at least the ones here in the US. There's some really interesting species of Corals. Edit: now that I'm looking again, that looks like a Grey Ratsnake or Prairie King, so one would change the dynamic a bit but hard to tell from the distance and resolution. But also, that Coral is tiny thickness wise. They usually stick too fossorial snakes down in South America or things like Ringneck Snakes etc. At least afaik, bigger coral species being exceptions obviously.

[@brandonpick5048]

Corals specifically eat other snakes with the occasional Lizard or two. He was definitely trying to eat and that other snake DEFINATELY died just hope the coral got his prey

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

@@brandonpick5048 Coral snakes do sometimes eat smaller snakes, but Prairie Kings are named such because of their diet and venom resistance, with size allowing them to eat snakes more often. Coral snakes def eat lizards and frogs just as much considering what's available to them, with larger ones eating rodents and birds etc. It's hard since there are TONS of coral snake species.

That's red touch yellow and red touch black. It only applies to North American snakes.

[@KyleInOklahoma]

@@mstalcup Yep. I think i remember them telling us that even outside Oklahoma we should not depend on this because of the many exotic snakes been released in Florida, etc.

Red on black, venom lack

[@coryn5487]

The king snake is immune to the coral snake venom as well correct? If so, I’m surprised the coral snake even went after it as it looked to big for the coral to eat.

[@stephenchalmers71]

No, kingsnakes are resistant (not immune) to pit viper venom. Coral snakes, unlike all other venomous snakes in North America, are elapids like cobras and mambas. Kingsnakes are not resistant to their venom. Also, that's not a prairie kingsnake in the video. It's a great plains rat snake. Either way, if a coral snake is actually able to deliver venom to another snake with its small fangs, the other snake will almost certainly die.

[@sherryarflin726]

I thought Coral snakes were small. That one seemed long. Someone please let me know.

[@enriquetrevino5049]

The coral snake can measure 70cm and belongs to the elapidae family ,has a very powerful neurotoxic venom,its sister the Asian banded Krait (black with white) its the most feared, its venom its much more powerful than the of the coral snake ,90% of their bites are fatal if medical attention is not received within 5 hours , joseph bruno slowinski was bitten by one and died .

[@hamlinhobbyist7507]

Although coral snakes have very potent venom, I read it's a very slow acting venom.

[@scottfay3553]

small fangs too

[@Alpha_4608]

If this was a kingsnake then it would be the other way around

[@manueltaran1443]

@Linda B Kings are also immune to coral snakes, especially the California, Mexican Black and Florida Kingsnakes and they are known to prey also on Coral snakes,

I served in the Peace Corps in Central America. The coral snake is more feared than the fer de lance. Described as, "Sluggish," this video clearly shows, as I learned, they are not.

[@jordand.773]

looks like a great plains ratsnake, Pantherophis emoryi

[@casesoutherland4175]

We know that king snakes have a high resistance to pit viper venom, so it might be possible that they have a resistance to coral snake venom.

[@azulramos8957]

They don't, unfortunately.

[@ialbium]

Doubt it these have neuro toxin while bopers are hemotoxin

[@Steevee14]

@@ialbium Correct! "Bopers" (vipers) tend to have mostly hemotoxic elements in their venom.

[@eianmerino190]

@@Steevee14 the only rattler species to my knowledge that have a neurotoxic venom is a type A Mojave rattler.

[@Steevee14]

Very large coral snake

Nice of you to intervene in the natural process! Goof's

That IS a coral snake. The black sections are about an inch long. That's an easier way to remember.

[@zenolachance1181]

The easiest way is the head is always black on a coral snake

[@jdmrestor]

Red next to yellow, you're a dead fellow.......red next to black, you're OK Jack. Some kings have this coloring, but not venomous

[@GentiluomoStraniero]

That is a Coral snake. The other is a gopher snake.

That's a huge coral snake
