Thats actually fairly common. Venom takes a lot of energy for most snakes to produce, so they like to save it for food. If you keep fucking with them, theyll give it to you, but lots of hots will snag you and give a smaller dose first. Not something to depend on, especially when a fairly small dose can still be extremely dangerous, and theres always thay chance it will just give you both barrels, so to speak. Not to mention some species will just dump all they can on you every time...

I've seen melanistic Coral snakes, Pastels, no yellow/white ring, and a few other color variations. In general, this saying is ONLY good in North America, and not all the time. I've actually raised Corals successfully. It is INDEED, very difficult. They need loose soil, lots of room, lots of places to hide, as they are fossorial, and will SELDOM be seen! They'll only eat other snakes in captivity, 80% of the time. I've had to force feed a lot of them with a syringe full of quality cat, or dog food, mixed with B vitamin complex, calcium, riboflavin, and some other minerals. I do *NOT* recommend them. IF they bite, they have pre-synaptic neurotoxins. that means, any damage caused, will NOT be reversed with antivenin. With an estimated lethal dose for a human adult male being at 2.2mg, their venom is more toxic than any cobra. It's on par with the Blue krait! They are also "twitchy" and will swing around and latch on any skin they find. VERY unpredictable. This is more common in the larger Texas corals (Micrurus tenere), which are larger than the Eastern corals (Micrurus fulvius). They DO have fangs, and do NOT require "chewing" to envenomate you. Also, their mouths can open a near full 180 degrees, which means they can bite ANY body part, including the middle of your back! They are DANGEROUS! Leave them alone!

Some other suggestions: The venomous Night Adder (Causus rhombeatus) can be replaced by the non-venomous Egg-eating Snake (Dasypeltis scabra). They look almost identically. The only problem with the egg-eating snake is, what the name already says, this snake is only eating eggs. So make sure you find a bird breeder (for example a budgie breeder or a canary breeder) who can provide you with fertilized eggs BEFORE you purchase an egg-eating snake. At least as long as the egg-eating snake isn't adult. Once it's adult it easily eats the eggs of Quails. The before mentioned Egg-eating Snake (Dasypeltis scabra) can also be taken as the non-venomous substitue for the highly-venomous Saw-scaled Viper (Echis carinatus). Both snakes not only look pretty similar but the Egg Snake also tends in defense to move its body in a way that the scales scratch each other and it makes a similar sound as that that is produced by the Saw-scaled Viper.

I grew up on a farm in Kansas where massasauga were the most common venomous snake. We would find about 6 a year around the house and barns. It was rare to find an older one. The ones we came across were around 10 to 14 inches and only had 2 to 3 buttons on their rattle. You really couldn't hear anything when they rattled. I had one bite the bottom of my sandal when I was walking across the lawn one day. We had hognose snakes also but I never found one on the farm. I'd recommend a hognose over a massasauga any day.

Great comment! And I agree about the indigos. Although more boomslang-looking than Mexican black kingsnakes, indigos and cribos have high metabolisms and need food quite often. Not a cheap snake to feed.

Wow! This is crazy! I had a baby Massasauga Rattlesnake swim past me while I was swimming in the Great Lakes region, and my first thought was that it was a baby Western Hognose! It's why they tell you not to grab sticks in the water while you are swimming in case it is actually a snake.

That indigo thing at the end looks pretty similar to our red bellied black snake we have here in Australia and are the most common snake you’ll see where I live in the blue mountains but are mildly venomous. Btw great work I enjoy every episode makes me want to get more blue tongued skinks.

When snakes "chase" you, its usually because they are looking for the nearest hole or bush they can escape to... which is sometimes right behind you, which is why it make look like they are making a beeline for you when in reality they are just trying to go hide.

Great video! I've been wanting to get a Rough Green Snake for my wife so she can better acclimate to the snake world. Our hognose snake still makes her nervous with his attitude. I've also been wanting to get a FWC eventually too! You could also argue the point that Eastern indigo snakes have a cobra like head/face too. They're so beautiful. What are your thoughts on Mangrove snakes? They kind of ride that fine line. For someone who is a more experienced keeper that wants to try and handle something a bit cantankerous and slightly venomous but won't kill you. I actually thought I might've seen that on this video but definitely see why it wouldn't.
