    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  3 года назад +1

      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.

      @@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.

      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.
