Product Description
NICE RUBBER CORAL SNAKE 26"
Coral Snake Appearance: There are many varieties of coral snakes throughout the Americas, but we will address the USA snakes. The most common species in the United States have a universal red-yellow-black-yellow pattern. Not all coral snakes have the same color scheme, so it is important to be familiar with the snakes specific to your region. This snake is small in comparison to other venomous snakes in the United States. At its longest, an adult can measure around thirty inches. The colorful body is slender and lacks real variance in width. The head blends seamlessly into the body with no distinctive neck. The head of this species of coral snake is always black. Coral Snake Habitat and Behavior: There are two types, the Eastern Coral Snake, and the Western Coral Snake. The Eastern is more common, but neither is seen often, because Coral snakes that live in either the southeastern or southwestern United States prefer wooded, marshy, and loose-soiled areas often under debris. They are very reclusive, staying in the safety of underground burrows or dens during the day and emerging in the evening and early morning to feed. Among their own kind, coral snakes are solitary, showing aggression even during breeding.
