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.

If you mate a California king snake and a apricot pueblan milk snake what does that make?

A hybrid, as simple as that. Hybrids should be avoided at all costs due to the high incidence of reproductive problems and also developmental problems and morphological abnormalities. In addition, husbandry requirements may be more uncertain than in full species as adaptations to individual environments will be mixed. The common complaint is that you are creating something that isn't found in nature (at least not often, but never in most cases), however, this issue is more one of ethics than a real concern. Unless reintroductions are planned - not usually the case - the hybrid is equal to being dead as far as natural populations are concerned anyway by being captive, so this argument is usually irrelevant to discussions.

I found this on everything2.com and it is something I have heard before. Also known as antivenene or antivenom, antivenin is an antitoxin produced in the blood by repeated injections of venom. Antivenin for venomous creatures is produced by gradually injecting livestock (usually horses) with the venom of a particular species. The animal gradually produces antibodies to the venom, and its blood plasma is harvested and refined to produce antivenin suitable for use in humans and other animals. This is the only proven method of treating venomous snake bites, and the venom of many other poisonous creatures. The production of antivenin in this way requires constant supplies of venom.
