Like the very venomous coral snake:

New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. Even in areas that are densely populated, bites are rare.

Also not to be confused with the non-venomous king snake:

Or I can confuse them and just avoid both of them.

Duamerthrax used confusion.

Snek is confuse.

Snek fled.

I thought it was “friend of Jack”

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

That’s different from what I heard!

I've heard both versions

[-] match@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

red on black, poison Jack

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

No that's incorrect

I thought it was "if it's yellow, let it mellow"

They taught us that at summer camp. They were trying to conserve water and had a little song to remind us, "If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down."
