A few other snakes mimic this coloration, most notably the Scarlet Kingsnake, but the Western Coral Snake is the only snake with red bands bordered by white or pale yellow.
but to the original post, good for you. I would have done the same thing if I saw that around my house. There are kids that play outside all the time, so it's for the better.
dont you think shooting at it five times and then burning it with gas is a little much? haha.
:hsdunno: it was still moving after 4 shots, so I felt one more was necessary.
As for burning it, I didn't know what else to do with it. I assume its venom is still harmful for a few days. The cats could have dug it up and carried it around or the raccoons might have ate it. I sure as hell didn't want it stinking up my trash can.
And I suppose it was a poor excuse to play with gas.
