That has to be the biggest coral snake I’ve ever seen. Awesome!

In 1984 the Houston zoo got caught exhibiting a rubber coral snake. Their explanation was the real snakes tended to die. They had a rubber snake on exhibit for 4 years before they were caught by a patron who noticed the snake never moved.

The Coral Snake has a neurotoxic venom. The King Snake, however, is somewhat immune to venoms (hemo- and neuro-toxic), which is why it is such a prolific snake hunter.

A coral snake bit Chuck Norris. It took the snake two hours to die.

It looks like a Pantherophis emoryi. A king snake does not flee, it would end up eating the coral.

Very interresting!

Remember, "red touching yellow could kill a fellow". The phrase I was taught when I was young.

The snakes are a Great Plains rat snake (pantherophis emoryi) and a Coral Snake, most likely a Texas Coral Snake.

coral snakes have got to be one of the prettiest snakes on the planet. This one is a nice size too!

Have had a few eastern coral snakes at 4’2 and 4’3 one wild caught and the other one I raised over 4 years and both were always eating every other day the largest one was caught crossing a dirt road while raining

I love coral snakes, they are so pretty.

Looks like a GP Rat Snake, not a King Snake of any kind. The snake appears to be having some noticeable complications due to the venom which isn't the case with the King Snake. Not only that, but this snake wasn't trying to fight at all, it knew it was overmatched, again, not a sign of a King Snake. King snakes usually give 0 f**ks about another snake.

This is the first Coral Snake-V-any snake video I've seen. The Coral Snake is a snake eater.

That coral snake was pretty darn fast .

Really cool video capture.

Wow, I guess everything is bigger in Texas! I've never seen a coral snake that big, I honestly didn't know they could get that large. I've had the privilege of seeing several in my life, but none anywhere near that size. Was it really that large, or did the camera just make it seem that big?

1:15 me chasing my goals... 😂

It's amazing to see that the king snake was intelligent enough to weave himself through the branch on the ground. That got the coral snake off of him quite easily.

Isn't one of the perks of being a king snake that you're immune to the venom of other snakes?

Not a milk snake, but fantastic observation.

Me to King Snake : Runn... Bitch Runn...

A beautiful lesson directly from nature: Your attacker may be fierce, dangerous and fast. But a will that refuse to give up (being able to carry on in order to get a better position to escape) can change it all.

Good video

I'd imagine that was more of a defensive/territorial thing than the Coral trying to eat that guy. Maybe the other way around and the Coral got the better of him? I'm not familiar with Prairie Kings (looked like a juvenile Eastern or Texas Ratsnake to me, but like I said...) But I hope he is and has some immunity to that Coral venom. Such a cool and unique species. Milks look closest to them, head shape wise and stuff but body shape and everything (and ofc the color) def unique on a Coral, at least the ones here in the US. There's some really interesting species of Corals. Edit: now that I'm looking again, that looks like a Grey Ratsnake or Prairie King, so one would change the dynamic a bit but hard to tell from the distance and resolution. But also, that Coral is tiny thickness wise. They usually stick too fossorial snakes down in South America or things like Ringneck Snakes etc. At least afaik, bigger coral species being exceptions obviously.

Milksnake sounds really harmless. I am happy that he got away.

Wow 😍😍 hello my friend 😘😘😘😘

I guess the coral snake may have to find another snake to eat and to sink its tiny fangs into it.

The other snake is an American coral snake YO that’s so random epic

Mighty large coral snake! And usually a king snake does not let a snake get the best of them like that. In fact, here in NC a king would have made a quick meal of that snake. Seen them totally overpower eastern diamondbacks and have lunch!

nice video

Red touches yellow =coral snake red touches black =king snake

That's huge for a coral snake! King snakes are immune to venom (if that is indeed a king snake).

im kinda confused at some of these comments. kingsnakes aren't really immuned to all venom, but they are resistant to pit viper venoms. Coral snakes are not pit vipers and are part of the same family that kraits and cobras come from. They also administer their venom differently than how pit vipers do. From what i read up, kingsnakes can and will die rather quickly from coral snake venom, but there are also cases of kingsnakes somehow killing and eating coral snakes as well.

Think that was something like a corn, pine or gopher snake. King and milk snakes are snake eaters that specialize in eating venomous snakes so even a snake eating coral snake would avoid them like the plague. Cool video though, that coral snake was gorgeous

Hi, what a great moment, could I use some of this footage for a video I'm making on coral snakes? I'll give you due credits in the video description. Many thanks.

Looks more like a great plains ratsnake

Did the bitten snake survived?

In Australia with these type of snakes we have a saying, Red on black fried of Jack, Red on yellow kill a fellow! That snake is poisonous red touching the yellow!

only time I ever saw a coral snake in r.l. was in Mississippi. they are beautiful but dangerous

as my mother used to say "red on black , a friend of jack, red on yellow, kill a fellow"

Amazing

*Warning* This comment section contains numerous non-warned *spoilers*

Didn't know Texas had red touches yellow snake. So they have those and take snakes?! My goodness

There's alot of them down here in Tx. I almost step on one the other day.

Is Beatifull...

Wow nice 👍👍👍

Just saw a coral the other day.

Got spooked away?

Cool video. I have to wonder if the coral snake lost sight of other snake due to the other snake´s color being so close to the ground but I am not sure but I did see that at fiirst when other snake got loose the coral snake went in the opposite direction looking for it. Although then seemed like it had gotten it but idk what happened after that.

Muy.bellas. Culebra.

BIGGEST coral I've seen.....odd couldn't track the other snake

I did a cut off for one of the rigs near McAllen and a coral snake was in the hole with me the whole time. I didn't see it until I was picking up my tools. I killed it with my acetylene torch. I've come across a few coral snakes in South Texas.

I thought that probably wasn't a kingsnake you could see how the coral snakes neurotoxins were starting to paralyze the rear half of the other snakes body and kingsnakes exhibit immunity to most venomous snakes and usually a kingsnake would have been the one trying to consume the other snake

That IS a coral snake. The black sections are about an inch long. That's an easier way to remember.

Guess the king snake wasnt hungry..

FUN FACT: That coral snakes venom is more toxic than a king cobra

That was the biggest Coral Snake EVER, but it seems that the Bullsnake was too much and the Coral snake knew it.

Red on black Ok Jack , red on yellow Kills a fellow. The difference between a coral snake and a similar looking harmless species

Do you think that coral snake bite ended up killing the other snake after a while?

Found a coral snake yesterday lookin under a roco for food for my giant centipede i was very happy to see one in irl

That's not a Prairie King. That's a lame Great Plains Rat that could've easily constricted the Coral if was aggressive enough. That same Coral would run from a Speckled King in that same region.

There's a spike in coral snakes in San Antonio, TX. I live near a creek in the city and seen a few this summer.

I served in the Peace Corps in Central America. The coral snake is more feared than the fer de lance. Described as, "Sluggish," this video clearly shows, as I learned, they are not.

I was stepping out of a vehicle in Granbury Texas about 20 years ago and just as I was about to plant my foot there was a Coral snake like this one..I knew about them and about shit in my pants !

Saw a small one in SC over 40 years ago. They are pretty rare here.

Nice

Beautiful snake!! where did you guys find this?

That is a huge Coral snake

Great plains ratsnake is the other snake. Western version of the cornsnake.

Was this filmed near Corpus Christi, Texas? The soil looks like it was!

So... it's a Danger Noodle chasing a Nope Rope...

Cross road of life & death

Although coral snakes have very potent venom, I read it's a very slow acting venom.

Very large coral snake

*ALGUM BR VEIO PELO SITE MEIO NORTE?*

I like

If the color yellow touches red, you're dead.

*That is not a king snake.* A king snake would have swallowed that coral snake instantly.

Oh cool they’re in Texas too? What else is here Gila Monsters?

King snakes are immune to the snake venom.

Super

I've seeen a few in Irving Texas

Coral pearl milk shake.. oh snake... yummy..

looks like a great plains ratsnake, Pantherophis emoryi

If a California King was there they'd both be running.

Almost same in size...atleast he should have tried a bit to fight back...running is last option or strategy

Yellow band is bad, is coral snake. However, in South America, coral snake species Doesn't have yellow, and look like king snake, be careful..

Red Touches Black, A Friend of Jack (Not Venomous) Red Touches Yellow, Will Kill a Fellow (Venoumous)

*_"Red & Yellow kill a fella, Red & Black is safe for Jack." 😂I learned this in the scouts cause we have non-venomous snakes just like the corral snake so remembering this will tell us if the snake is dangerous._* 🙏

Depois do vídeo devolveram sua refeição

Pantherophis emory vs micrurus fulvius.

I always thought CS liked swampy, thick areas

Make a nice looking belt !

I think that snake that the coral snake was eating was a gopher snake.

It’s a Great Plains ratsnake I’m pretty sure I can only tell if I see the belly though. I’ve been lookin for a Coral snake here around the DFW region FOREVER I know their here and most parts of Texas really but it’s my only Texas venomous I haven’t found in its natural habitat.

I think the cameraman's presence destroyed any hope of the coral snake recapturing his prey.

that is one long coral

Cade o Brasil aqui nos comentários?

That's the longest coral snake I've ever seen. I guess everything in Texas is larger. By the way what was that coral snake doing so far from the swamp?
