So . . . how would one recognize an "aberrant" coral snake as such? Because, like you, I would have mistaken it for a different family of snek.

August 13, 20214 yr So . . . how would one recognize an "aberrant" coral snake as such? Because, like you, I would have mistaken it for a different family of snek.It's really tough. With this one the swollen-thumb head shape is the tell. Ring necks taper off from the collar forward.
August 13, 20214 yr I vaguely remember that a cobra escaped somewhere in far North Austin 5-10 years ago, causing some consternation until they found it dead on the road.
August 13, 20214 yr Unfortunately, this one’s owner thinks he crawled behind a wall somewhere & died from the heat.
August 13, 20214 yr I vaguely remember that a cobra escaped somewhere in far North Austin 5-10 years ago, causing some consternation until they found it dead on the road. If I remember correctly, it was suicide by cobra. After the guy was envenomated, the snake made a break for it.

That was one classy cobra. Monocle and all. All we're getting out of DFW is some knucklehead venom spitter. 18 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Unfortunately, this one’s owner thinks he crawled behind a wall somewhere & died from the heat. It's been over a week. If that is what really happened, don't you think they would have announced finding it there by now? Somebody loses a rat snek or a python, okay, they may not be as quick to react. A cobra? Yeah, you would think the first thing they did was check the house. It's going to show up on a road somewhere not too far off, or on someone's deck one morning, basking in the sun.

August 14, 20214 yr Saw the first snek in quite a while on an MTB ride. A rough green or green snek. Didn't get that good a look. S/he was headed toward the trail tread at pretty high velocity, but thankfully threw it in reverse before I got there.
August 14, 20214 yr I’ve been having a lot of coral sightings in south texas this year, this guy was going for a swim.

And forgive me for asking (because my knowledge about snek is limited), but what color nose would a similar-looking non-venomous king snake have? IOW, how would their noses differ so I can tell the coral snek from the other?

August 15, 20214 yr So what kinda of killer was this little fucker?Didn’t even rattle.Luckily my son saw it. Little jackass was right near my deer feeder, which seems like a pretty stupid place to be since it attracts deer, hogs, coons and cows…

August 16, 20214 yr Author Caught this juvenile rough earth snake on my stone walkway after a rain this evening. Deadly.

Because, like you, I would have mistaken it for a different family of snek. I saw this on a Central Texas Snake ID page: -Here is how to ID a coralsnake. Just like with any other species of snake, coloration is one method to ID a coralsnake. And just like several other species of snakes (copperhead comes to mind) there are aberrant coralsnakes so we encourage people to use other markers to ID coralsnakes, instead of relying on a rhyme. Several other markers to use for ID'ing a Texas coralsnake are: Very specific blunt head that is barely wider than the neck. On a quick glance, it looks the same size as the neck. Shiny slender body that is approximately the same diameter for the entire length. Black head with no trace of red. No trace of red on the tail. Rings that go all the way around the snake. Belly has the same pattern as the dorsal pattern. Smooth, shiny, near perfect diamond shaped dorsal scales.
