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:

Two photos of snakes placed side by side. On the left is the coral snake who has stripes in a black pattern of black, yellow, red, yellow - with the yellow being small bands compared to the other colors. On the right is a king snake who has stripes in a pattern of red, black, yellow or off white, black - with the red parts being much larger than the other two colors.

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

I thought it was “friend of Jack”

That’s different from what I heard!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've heard both versions

red on black, poison Jack

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

No that's incorrect

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

[–] irreticent 2 points 4 months ago

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."
