Kinda messed it up with the hoe!! I have four of these guys, including the “subject snake” in the deep freeze though. Unlike other poisonous snakes though, the coral snake has a very powerful neurotoxin that can work transdermally (through the skin). SO, if your buddy ever gets bitten, dont go all “John Wayne” and suck the poison out, or you will be dead faster than your buddy. A taxidermist friend told me he wears two pair of latex gloves when he skins one, and constantly reminds himself not to scratch himself.
