Like other kingsnakes, the scarlet kingsnake is nonvenomous and is primarily a constrictor. It subdues it prey by wrapping around it ind squeezing, preventing the prey from breathing and restricting oxygen flow to the brain.
The coral snake, by contrast, is highly venomous. It bites its prey and injects a powerful neurotoxin that causes paralysis and eventually stops the heart and lungs.
