Why are coral snakes called coral snakes?
I haven't found any sources as to why they are called that. Often people find a new animal and just come up with a cool name for it without much deep meaning. If I had to guess, I would think that this is why:Coral in the ocean is very colorful and vivid. They come in many shapes, colors, sizes, and types. Corals can also be dangerous. They have a very hard exterior that can cause damage. I also know that some corals are poisonous and can cause sickness.There are SEVERAL types of coral snakes and they are known for their vivid colors. They come in different sizes, many different colors, and live in many different environments. Although beautiful, like the coral, they are very dangerous and deadly.So, I imagine "Coral snake" is a comparison between coral and this snake. Both are beautiful but deadly.
What are warnings for coral snakes?
New World coral snakes possess the second most potent venom of any North American snake, behind some rattlesnakes species. However, few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. When confronted by humans, coral snakes will almost always attempt to flee, and bite only as a last resort. In addition, coral snakes have short fangs (proteroglyph dentition) that cannot penetrate thick leather clothing. Any skin penetration, however, is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Coral snakes have a powerful neurotoxin that paralyzes the breathing muscles; mechanical or artificial respiration, along with large doses of antivenom, are often required to save a victim's life. There is usually only mild pain associated with a bite, but breathing difficulties and ptosis can occur within hours. I hope this is what you are looking for.
