Coral Snake

I had a poll to see whether you guys are smart or not :P

Which is more Venomous? Coral Snake or Rattlesnake?

Coral Snake!

The Coral snake is the only North American snake in the Elapid family (cobras, mambas, sea snakes) Which makes it the most toxic snake in North America.

But interestingly enough there have been more deaths from rattlesnake bites than coral snakes.

That is because coral snakes tend to be quite placid. And rattlesnakes are very temperamental, which increases the amount of bites.

Just throwing this in to scare the older relatives.. they are quite common in Arizona.

Thank you for reading this very long post......
