I believe that I read that a coral snakes fangs are so short & mouth so small it would be hard to get bit by one.
not so, teenager in Blanco was bitten and was very bad to get over it, and they don't have to chew on you like the OLD MYTH that everyone thinks
This^^^^^! While they are mild mannered, they can open their mouth 180degrees. Their fangs are "relatively" short and fixed but can still put you in a world of hurt if you mess with one.
Most US anti-venom is based on pit vipers (rattle snakes, copperheads, and cotton mouths) which is where most negative human contacts occur...Corals are relatives of the cobra family. With few encounters and fewer envenomation's it is not a "huge" risk to the public unless you happen to be one of the few that do come in contact with one in a bad way.
