Are you IN Texas? We have venomous snakes across the state!

Grew up in W. Texas. Attended A & M. Currently there are no poisoned snakes where I live. Have experienced Rattle, Copper Head, Coral , Cotton Mouth and a variety of non poisonous snakes. I realize the Coral snake has a very potent venom. I also know you have to try to be bitten by one. Every Coral snake( three) I have been in contact with has been very shy and non confrontational.

Someone needs to educate themselves about snakes. Unless you let that poor Coral snake chew on you your friend killed a snake won’t strike and is realitively harmless.
