Real thing!!! Micrurus circinalis/Trinidad Coral. It's teh smaller of the 2 local species,the other one is much bigger and have a different colour scheme.

Very high potency of venom but poor delivery due to small fangs and mouth,victims are typically bitten on toes or fingers,very rare though. Children of old were the main victims due to the very attractive colours they would pick them up.

I catch them now and then in and around the house and release over the back wall which bounds mountain/state land.

Have to make a spin,later or tomorrow I would post a pic of a false one that we also caught in the yard for your comparison and info,we actually go look for him and pick him up when we see him at times very calm and cool snake.

**Oh the real coral you have there very moody and always puffing up to appear double their real girth,your fingers too close there man!! WTF!?

Red and yellow kill a fellow. But some New World corals don't have this strict pattern.

Milk snakes could look like South American corals and vice versa. But I would say that's a coral. So let it go somewhere.

No Corals with yellow locally,forget that formula here pal!

[nervewrecker]

I'm not sure what it is. Doubting myself here.
My cat had it busy by the road.
Pic makes it look bigger than it is I find. Head is very tiny, highly doubt teeth could make it through my thick skin bit make no mistake, I skurred there eh.

Let him / her go in the some bushes and praying the cats don't find it again.

Local snake keeper sgt, garcia told me the same thing, don't play that game with corals locally although they aren't aggressive snakes.
The Coral Snakes
The two local venomous coral belong to the Elapids family; i.e. their venom is of a neurotoxic nature. It affects the nervous system.

1] The Common Coral – Micrurus circinalis
The smaller of the two local Coral snakes, attain a length of 12 inches and bears the colours; red, white and black arranged in the pattern of our National Flag.

2] The Large Coral Snake – Micrurus lemniscatus diutius
The larger Coral can attain a size of 50 inches, (largest one caught is 48 inches) and has more potent venom than its smaller cousin. It has the colours; red, black light yellow (or white to creamish), black and red. Its colours are arranged in the following sequence; red, black, light yellow, black and red. This snake should not be played with because of its extremely dangerous venom.

what is this

[lostboys crew]

It was a horse whip. Collect bout six bite from one already mild poison can't kill humans only small prey. Just lost feelings in my leg for a couple hours and got permanent arthritis in my knee. Mind you I accidentally stepped on it ,did not see it as I was clearing bush on our property. It coiled around my leg and was biting away got scared as firetruck thought it was a mappapire until I eventually identified it. Never new horse whips were poisonous ,surprised me. As I said however very mild poison can't kill a human ,only rats birds or lizards.

[PariaMan]

thanks killed it but was sorry afterwards

[shogun]

I know what i'm gonna see inno, but i STILL enter these cheds. :/

Corals/fake corals so pretty though.

[lostboys crew]

From the same snake one after the other. Could not run cause it was coiled around my foot and biting away. It even left one of its fang in my foot.

Got bitten by lots of snakes , kept some as pets as well. The only snake I don't play with are Bushmasters and Mappapire. Handled corals but compared to vipers they are child's play, non aggressive and calm. I live Caura side so I have seen quite a few different critters.

Anyone know the name of this snake?

[*$kїđž!™]

Kill it first....we will find out name after...

[nervewrecker]

Cat eyed snake.

Harmless. Haw a head poke out a panel this week, through a crease I saw what looked like a pattern at one point. Talk about speed from there!!!!
Turns out was a lizard

[nervewrecker]

Ran into this sometime earlier this week or late last week.
Big men ran far away fast.

[lostboys crew]

That's a small boa , macaqualle or what the local name is. Non venomous but will bite if threatened .

[nervewrecker]

Yea, I know what it was. Went and took a pic of it.

[Licensed to Walk!]

My dog got ahold of this a while ago; first time I've seen one at home. Venomous or not?

The red bands touch the yellow bands, so it's a coral snake
Venomous
