What a great video...coral snakes are fascinating and you got some amazing footage. Nicely done. We have a thriving population in central Texas of the Texas Coral Snake as well as a almost perfect mimic, the milk snake. Good idea to just leave striped snakes to live their lives in peace! Great work! Thanks
Thank you very much!!! We hope to add more coral snake species and mimics in the future. If everything goes right we should be attendindg a conference in Texas next September and we also want to go look for snakes!
Excellent footage! We only have one species of coral snake native where I live, so learning about others is always very exciting! I’d love to see more about them from y’all in the future.
Both are similarly venomous, very strong neurotoxins. However, Common kraits kill many more people in India than different coral snakes together kill in Latin America.
Beautiful critters. Living jewels. Hop you do more on them. As they are so secretive and reluctant to bite unless picked up or stepped upon, they are of limited economic importance. Perhaps their venom extract may prove useful in chemotherapy so more people are induced to study them. Please do more on these interesting snakes and their mimics
We certainly want to return to Latin America to find more species! We think that there is definitely a potential in coral snake's venom. Thank you for watching!
I am currently in Costa Rica on a herping trip. Any tips on places or people I could get in contact with? Had good luck so far but I am extending my trip. Great video.
About the lack of tri-coloration in the region of the tail...as the snake matures, do the colors grow to reflect the red that is missing or is it just one of those Nature things?
"Red on yellow kill a fellow. Red on black, venom lack." They say this in the states to help people avoid coral snakes and know kingsnake species that have similar coloring are harmless.
@@LivingZoology definitely doesn't, even here in the states. Some milk snakes look very similar to corals and are completely harmless and as you say in central and south America there are venomous breeds that lack the bright yellow banding. Just a good idea not to handle them.
Would love to see intl coral snakes fight festival to find out which continent has the upper hand over the others. Probably Australia but you never know...
It would depend on different categories you know :) Coral snakes will be in light weight category and they might win over other snakes of similar sizes. They hunt other snakes too!
Mildly venomous? What do you mean by mildly? I am not usre I ahve heard that in regards to a snake before. The coral snakes look small for their length. Are they capable of opening their jaws wide enough to bite someone on an ankle or arm to inject their venom? They also seem extremely shy for an animal. How often are bites from these snakes reported in a given year? When was the last time an adult was killed by one? I cannot imagine there are many deaths or bites from these snakes in a year. In one comment you mentioned something about potential in the coral snakes's venom. What do you mean by that. I would love for you and your colleagues to do a video on the benefits that snake venom might have, if any. I know at one time there was talk of using snake venom in some way to treat blood and nervous disorders. I am not sure that research ever got any where. Great video as always. Great species of snake. Thank you as always.
Mildly venomous is commonly used for snake species which have venom (usually rear fangs) but the venom is not dangerous for humans. Let's say a sand snake in Africa bites you and you let it chew for a few minutes. You can have a headache, nausea, the area of the bite will be swollen. The bite is not putting your life in danger. Watch this video and focus on the info about the toxicity of snakes, there are snakes from around the world and you will get a better idea about which snakes are mildly venomous: ruclips.net/video/PjlnIsFKaKo/видео.html Coral snakes are of course capable of opening their mouth very wide, it is a common mistake to think that a snake with a small head cannot bite a person anywhere. Bites from coral snakes are rare, mostly people who handle them get bitten. They have a very strong neurotoxin which can kill you if you don't get antivenom. However, if you come to the hospital soon enough and get the antivenom, you will almost certainly recover. That's the thing with elapids having neurotoxins - these venoms work very fast but also their effects can be cured with antivenom easily. Here is an example of somebody in the USA who did not get antivenom and died within hours: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19673084/ Venoms have a great potential in curing various diseases. Some drugs are already being produced from snake venoms. Imagine a venom of a puff adder for example. If you put it into the blood, the blood turns into a jelly in a minute. If you are able to extract a specific component from the venom causing it, you can use that for curing people with not enough blood clotting for example. Thank you very much for great questions! :) Happy that you enjoyed watching!
@@LivingZoology I have no idea how I missed that first video. That was excellent. I do have another question concerning snake bites. Which species of snake delivers the most painful bite regardless of venom? I mean is there one species of snake that tops the pain meter as fact as a bite. The boas and python jaws look to me like they would hurt a lot more than a cobra bite, but I am not sure. Thank you for answering my questions. I have to go trhough all you videos. I am beginning to feel that a lot of my quesitons have been answered already. I do enjoy watching your videos. In some strange way, they are a great way to start the day. I usually am eating breakfast when I watch your videos. I bet you guys have nothing but fun doing your job on these videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Enjoy!
@@jazzbariman Happy that you saw that video now! We though it might be interesting. It is difficult to say which snake species has the most painful bite. But in general we would say that a bite from big constrictors is very very painful and sometimes requires stitching. Also bites from snakes with cytotoxic venom are super painful, the tissue just rots and swells to enormous proportions (puff adder bite for example). Feel free to watch all our older videos, but also feel free to ask any questions in the comments :) We really appreciate your support and thanks to supporters like you we can continue doing this job, which we love. Stay safe and many many thanks!
Not that this is easy to spot, especially for amateurs, but coral snakes' head always has a fat-lip appearance. And if the rhyme escapes you, try this: the traffic light sequence yellow-red means stop. Yellow-red bands? Stop; do not approach.
@@LivingZoology Indeed. It's quite remarkable how such a small and quite beutiful serpent (compared to say a cantankerous 6 ft. "Western Diamondback" ratlesnake) evolved to possess such an utterly lethal toxin. Nature never ceases to amaze!
The colors of the coral snake, desert rattlesnakes and others are naturally dazzling; Costa Rica has an extremely delicate rainforest. Man has yet to find the resourcefulness to reproduce such a symphony of chromatism.
Whydo we always said mimics ... Do we really know. Maybe they were born to be like this in nature ... It is like saying mokey chimpamzee are trying to mimic human the way they behave.. or European are trying to mimic the white sky or snow they were soo white haha I dnt think mimic or anything they were naturally and intentionally born that way haha
It is known that there is a coevolution between coral snakes and other non-venomous mimics. There are phylogenetic studies proving that the evolution of both groups is linked. Monkeys and chimpanzees have a very different relationship to humans, they are ancestral. This topic needs a bit of evolutionary background for understanding.
@@LivingZoology bro i am not trying to disproof or anything i am simply trolling ... I love your channel i always watched it but spectacled cobra vs monacled will be intresting hehe if you have time
@@LivingZoology thnks for the reply i never hope such a big channel will even read our comment thanks thnks for the video and info everyhting waiting for next video out
Nailed it again. Best videos out there. Good job
Thanks again! We appreciate that!
Thank you for another amazing video. These snakes are so beautiful and must have been both difficult but amazing to film.
Thank you so much for watching!!! Yes, coral snakes are not easy to find! But when we finally found them it was amazing!

We have been in Africa but some our videos were posted in the meantime 🙂
Man ! You've gotta lot to cover..!! 😊
@@aakashraj6406 Thank you! :)

Glad you enjoyed it! We will try to find more species in the future! :)
What species is that?
The ad placement every ten seconds is pretty sweet
We hope that it did not show every 10 seconds! That is not how it was set...
Very beautiful snakes , thank you once again for all of your efforts team LZ 🐍🐍. Looking forward to more videos.
More to come! Thank you very much!!!
Common krait or Coral snake, which is most deadly and venomous?
Both are similarly venomous, very strong neurotoxins. However, Common kraits kill many more people in India than different coral snakes together kill in Latin America.
@@LivingZoology snake bites are increasing in Punjab,india. Venomous snakes are everywhere. Last month a 8 year old girl killed by Russell's viper.
excellent video thanks Excellent education
Glad you enjoyed it!!! Happy that you learned something new :)
Coral snakes, gorgeous yet deadly at the same time
Very true!
They are amazingly beautiful.
We totally agree!!! Amazing snakes, we want to find more species in the future.

Make a video about bungarus or krait snake please
We hope that India will finally open so we can return!
@@LivingZoology Or here in Southeast Asian.
Red headed krait is my fav snake.
@@rmunthe9tahunyanglalu794 Southeastern Asia is closed right now.
Thank you for traveling to where they really are.
Thank you for watching! :)
Please do one more video on macclellands coral snake if possible. It will be really good
If we get a chance to look for this snake in the future and we will find it, we will definitely make a video about it! 😀
About the lack of tri-coloration in the region of the tail...as the snake matures, do the colors grow to reflect the red that is missing or is it just one of those Nature things?
It seems to be just one of those nature things :) In most species the colors on tail tend to be a bit different, missing one color for example.
Can you pls tell me which animal is the one that makes the pio sound in the video? Pls @livingzoology
Unfortunately, we are not sure which bird it is...
@all do you know what is the pio sound
could you make a video of the rattlesnake of uracoa? Please
You mean Uracoa in Venezuela? Is there anything special about that area?
@@LivingZoology Yes
Amazing snake good friend
Thanks 👍
Coral Snakes Are Incredible Snakes & This Has Great Bright Colouration One Way To Protect Yourself From Predators. Fab Encounters 🐍🤩

"Red on yellow kill a fellow. Red on black, venom lack." They say this in the states to help people avoid coral snakes and know kingsnake species that have similar coloring are harmless.
Well, as we write in the video, it is important to be careful. This does not work everywhere and there are exceptions.

Yes, who does not know the species of coral snakes and mimics well, should be very careful and not pick up these snakes.
Good jobs!
Thank you!
superb, thanks !

Good
Thanks!
Next please do the southeast asian coral snake
We still have to find those! Hopefully in the future!
There’s the red, black and white one from Trinidad and Tobago
Micrurus circinalis?
Coral snakes are beautiful snakes. It's an advertisement to show they are venomous. Their venom contains deadly neurotoxins and it's lethal.
Yes, amazing snakes! So special, fast and beautiful!
Ha first here cant wait🤣🤣
See you at the premiere! 🙂
I wounder if we could transplant cobras to South America,to the wild
We miss cobras when we are in the Americas! :D

Yes, with very potent venom :)
@@LivingZoology Indeed. It's quite remarkable how such a small and quite beutiful serpent (compared to say a cantankerous 6 ft. "Western Diamondback" ratlesnake) evolved to possess such an utterly lethal toxin. Nature never ceases to amaze!
The coral snake rhyme has way too many exceptions (even in North America) to be useful. Just don’t pick up snakes you cannot ID.
That is what we say in the video...
Remember! Red on black, happy Jack, red on yellow, kills a fellow.
It does not work in Latin America unfortunately.
I never have understood how a tiny snake could kill a human being 😮
It has such a potent venom that it can kill even a human.
How big are the fangs
The Kraits of the Americas..
Yes, basically it is true! Similar lifestyle and venom.
The colors of the coral snake, desert rattlesnakes and others are naturally dazzling; Costa Rica has an extremely delicate rainforest. Man has yet to find the resourcefulness to reproduce such a symphony of chromatism.
