Found said kitteh while mowing the lawn and almost ran kitteh over.

Placed kitteh in trash can while I continued to mow.

Released kitteh across the street near a rock quarry.





For scale


Close up, really close up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_snake

Distribution (US)[edit]

Eastern coral snake, Micrurus fulvius
New World coral snakes exist in the southern range of many temperate U.S. states. Coral snakes are found in scattered localities in the southern coastal plain from North Carolina to Louisiana, including all of Florida. They can be found in pine and scrub oak sandhill habitats in parts of this range but sometimes inhabit hardwood areas and pine flatwoods that undergo seasonal flooding.[9]

There is controversy about the classification of the very similar Texas coral snake as a separate species. Its habitat, in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and sometimes in Oklahoma due to floods in the Red River, is separated from the eastern habitat by the Mississippi River. The coral snake population is most dense in the southeast United States, but coral snakes have been spotted as far north as Kentucky.[10]

The Arizona coral snake, clearly a separate species and genus, is found in central and southern Arizona, extreme southwestern New Mexico and southward to Sinaloa in western Mexico. It occupies arid and semiarid regions in many different habitat types including thornscrub, desert-scrub, woodland, grassland and farmland. It is found in the plains and lower mountain slopes from sea level to 5800 feet (1768 m); often found in rocky areas.[11]

Danger to humans[edit]
New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. According to the American National Institutes of Health, there are an average of 15–25 coral snake bites in the United States each year.[12]

When confronted by humans, coral snakes will almost always attempt to flee, and bite only as a last resort. In addition, coral snakes have short fangs (proteroglyph dentition) that cannot penetrate thick leather clothing. Any skin penetration however, is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Coral snakes have a powerful neurotoxin that paralyzes the breathing muscles; mechanical or artificial respiration, along with large doses of antivenom, are often required to save a victim's life. There is usually only mild pain associated with a bite, but respiratory failure can occur within hours.

We caught one while out running, he bit on my running shoe but that was about as aggressive as he got.





We found a walmart bag on the side of the road and finished our run.





I guess he enjoyed the run in his bag and when we got back we gave him a new home in the 6th RTB snake house.

Just cause I piss on an electrical outlet once and don't die from electrocution doesn't mean my actions weren't dumb and could have caused my death.   That snake would have high tailed it away if you would have just walked away and mowed a different section of your yard and came back, they are notoriously skiddish critters.

Good on you OP that is a beautiful snake.  I caught and released many rattlers and sidewinders when I lived in San Diego.



Not their fault they are venomous.
