Red an...I heard a similar version of that rhyme...<br /><br />Red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black friend of jack.<br /><br />On another note, I was told by some snake wrangling professionals that most snake bites occur for one of two reasons:<br /><br />(1) People trying to catch or kill the snake, or (2) putting your hand or feet in places where you can't see, and therefore invade the snakes territory. In both cases the snake has a solid case for biting you out of self-defense.<br /><br />They also gave me what seems to be some very sound advice. If you see a snake coming, get out it's way. You leave it alone, it'll leave you alone. Also, don't reach or step into places where you can't see. I for one, am heeding this advice, because I live in an area where it's very common to see snakes, even venomous ones.<br /><br />I'm actually a fan of snakes. I have been since I was a kid. And my daughter is as well, which is why we have a pet snake.Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-22540337359768468872011-05-31T09:15:12.731-05:002011-05-31T09:15:12.731-05:00I met one of these beautiful snakes on a hike here...I met one of these beautiful snakes on a hike here in Southern Arizona. It behaved shyly, coiling and actually hiding its head. Revealed no aggressive behavior at all.<br /><br />Perhaps that's why there has never been a reported Arizona death from a coral snake bite. Even being bitten by one is extremely rare.<br /><br />I'm guessing a person would have to work really hard to persuade a coral snake to bite.<br /><br />As for killing any venomous snake? No, thanks - I'd rather follow the Chinese proverb: "Him kill snake must love rat."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-86697065780738847602011-05-31T08:12:36.291-05:002011-05-31T08:12:36.291-05:00Chuck and Gigi,
