Have you ever heard the rhyme: “red and black, friend of Jack. Red and yellow, kills a fellow?” This limerick exists to help people distinguish between a venomous coral snake, whose bite can be very serious, and harmless counterparts like the scarlet king snake.
- Scientific Name: Family Elapidae
- Characteristics: Although coral snake venom is incredibly potent, they only bite when they feel threatened. We promise this individually hand painted figurine has no interest in harming you!
- Size and Color: Measuring 23 inches long and .5 inches tall, this model is about as long as two standard sized
- American rulers, and as tall as a quarter stood upright. Coral snakes are always red, black, and yellow, but the actual alignment of those colors is necessary to determine the species. Remember the rhyme!
- The Coral Snake is part of the Incredible Creatures® collection.
- All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free.
