There are two types of Coral Snake in the United States: The eastern coral snake, or harlequin snake (M. fulvius), is about a metre (3.3 feet) long and has wide red and black rings separated by narrow rings of yellow. The Arizona coral snake (Micruroides euryxanthus) is a small (40-50-cm) inhabitant of the American Southwest. The rhyme "Red on yellow, kill a fellow, red on black, venom lack" distinguishes coral snakes from similar North American snakes. There are 50 genera of coral snake mimics such as false coral snakes (see king snake and scarlet snake), and nearly one-third of all American species have some coral snake pattern. They both prefer warmer climates and live from Florida to Texas.

What is Deadlier -- a Black Mamba or Taipan Snake?
A single bite from the Inland Taipan contains enough venom to kill as many as 100 human adults, or 250,000 mice.[3] The average venom yield of this snake is 44 mg, with a 110-mg being the largest recorded yield. Its venom is 50 times more toxic than that of the Indian Cobra and 650 - 850 times more toxic than that of a Western- or Eastern Diamondback. The Inland Taipan has an extremely neurotoxic venom which can cause death to an adult human in as little as 45 minutes. Although highly venomous it is a relatively timid snake provided that it is left alone. Even so, if it is suspected that a bite from this snake has occurred, medical attention should be sought immediately. Although known as the most venomous land snake in the world, there have been no documented human fatalities. All known bites have been treated using antivenin. The Black Mamba's venom will cause a blockade at the neuromuscular junction, which blocks every signal from the brain passing through the nervous system to the muscles, causing systemic paralysis. The prey will die from suffocation due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles.

Are rattlesnakes solitary or do they like to be in groups What is there social behavior?
I am not a herpetologist, but there is an old rule that when you see one snake, look for the second. Now, the only time I have found this to be true is around mating season, July - August. By the same token I have also seen "dens" of rattlesnakes - so I guess you could say they are socially tolerant.
if you mean grass snakes they eat mice rats and other small things like chipmunks.
With parental consent can go to get snake bites piercings?
1. Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"
- All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations. What you may want may not be legal in your area so call and check with your local studios.
- Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellow pages "Body Piercing" ) they will tell you what the age limits are for your area.
- Identification is aways needed (Birth certificate, Student card, Drivers license) Parental consent is consent from the legal parents (Mother or Father). Grand parents, Sister, Brother, Second Cousin twice removed doesn't cut it sorry. Unless they are your legal guardians assigned by the courts and have documented proof or this, it just won't work.
- Prices for piercings vary from shop to shop and city to city. Be sure you phone and ask them what the total price is including any *aftercare solutions they may try to sell you (* Professional body piercing studios won't try to sell you aftercare solution, they will recommend cleansers and soaps but that's it if you want it they will sell it but they will not force you to buy it.)
- Do your research, check these places out and find a studio that you are comfortable with, talk to the piercer and discuss you wishes. If at any time you feel like you are being ignored or rushed leave, find somewhere else. Good shops will be busy, but they will also want you to book your appointment, this way they have there full attention on you not everyone else who is asking questions (that's a good thing).Jzuk
