coral snake foraging and pygmy rattlesnake defends young

Here is an example of a coral snake foraging. It was about 30 yards from this mother pygmy rattlesnake and her litter of five young. The real coral snake didn't find the litter but we simulated an attack with a coral snake model. Mom defends her pups and after the simulated attack the mother and young all went under shelter. After about an hour a single young comes out and then mom returns to check on her litter.

that was funny. Even the rattlesnake was like "that thing ain't real."

Wow, you captured the ever elusive duct tape phase coral snake. 😂🤣 Nice Pygmy rattlers. Those are pretty feisty little snakes.

I think that was cute. I may be the only Florida Granny that loves snakes. I've loved em since I was a young girl and I hate to see em get killed for no good reason too. She may have thought at first oh that's a King snake so she went on "gray alert" LOL but then realized oh a coral can eat my babies but hey That's not a real snake. LOL. I wish I had grandson's like y'all, comedy genius's. Be careful, don't git bit.

[@dlighted8861]

I wonder what they eat while momma is looking out for them.

[@kk6aw]

What was your first clue

[@ramishrambarran3998]

The rattler knew that, as they taste the air with their tongue.
He was only getting the taste of rubber !!
