RE: Why @herpetologyguy Has To Be Careful Writing About Reptiles On Steemit

in #steemit • 7 years ago

I had always heard the statement about snakes with elliptical pupils and triangular head being venomous as a stone cold fact. It's nice to see people who are doing their best to be responsible about the information that they share!

    Lol it is a stone cold fact where I live! But if I travel about an hour south where coral snakes live, it is incorrect!

    Oh wow! I didn't know it didn't apply to coral snakes. We apparently have a few in the extreme southwestern part of Arkansas, but not where I'm at. Although, we have a few Eastern milksnakes that will make you look twice.

    Yup! Coral snakes are actually a member of the cobra family, so they appear very similar to many nonvenomous snakes (long/thin, round head, round eyes, pupils, etc).
