Are milk snakes poisionous

Answer 1

Coral snakes are deadly but milk snakes are fine. The Milk snakes look just look like coral snakes as a defense.

The difference between the two (in appearence) is:

Milksnakes have a pattern of: BLACK, RED, BLACK, YELLOW, BLACK, RED, BLACK, YELLOW, BLACK (ect)

Coral snakes have a pattern of: BLACK, YELLOW, RED, YELLOW, BLACK, YELLOW, RED, YELLOW, BLACK, YELLOW (ect)

A ryme that may help you to remember the difference is:

RED BLACK, VENOUM LACK

RED YELLOW, KILLS A FELLOW

Answer 2

No, the milk snake is nonvenomous, but it mimics the highly venomous coral snake. One way to tell them apart is this cute little poem that has saved many a life. Both the milk and coral snakes have stripes of red, black, and yellow, only if the red stripes border the yellow ones, it's a coral snake. Anyway, here's the poem:

If red touches yellow,

you're a dead fellow.

If red touches black,

venom is lacked.
