Floridians know this, new to Florida might not?
We all must learn the reason for this post!
"Why would a ‘professed Native American’ tagged as a true animal lover, kill a snake in Florida?
Because it was an (Eastern Coral Snake)!
Think (Red on Yellow – Kill a Fellow – Red on Black - Put it
Back)"!
The eastern coral snake is the one with red, black and yellow
stripes.
They
except:
In coral snakes, the thin yellow bands touch the red bands.
In kingsnakes, they don’t.
The yellow bands only touch the black
bands.
It’s the origin of the old rhyme,
“Red next to black, safe from attack; red next to yellow, you’re a
dead fellow.”
There are plenty of variants, but the point is always the same.

“If it was a King Snake or any of the many non-Poisonous snakes
around the property I still would not ‘Put it back’ I would however take it to
the end of the property.
Why?
Because it was next to my work shed and close to my ‘Greenhouse’.
