Doing some gardening this morning and a 2' long coral snake crawled out of some rocks. I kill all the poisonous snakes in my yard and let the good snakes go. I have several small grandkids and don't want them getting bit. Killed a diamondback about 2 weeks ago.

I was trying to just take its head off and it moved and I cut it into 2 equal parts. The dangerous part crawled away back into some yuccas and a foot long tail piece tried to crawl away. Threw the tail down by the river for the vultures. Have not been able to find the front end.

How long can a dead coral snake live?

Snakes have a super slow metabolism and take awhile to die. If you cut him in half he's dead

It will be dead within the hour if you cut it in half.

Between the head and shoulders is instant death.

The farther from the neck, the longer it can live.  Rule of thumb is 10 minutes for each inch.

It was not on a treadmill.

It did bite the shovel several times after it was cut in two.

Are you sure that it was a coral snake? There are several species in Texas that mimic coral snakes, but are completely harmless.

OP, GD is too canny to be roped into your trick question.

This is a gun board, why did you not shoot it?

Well, basically snakes don't have parts. But if I had to call it anything, I would say it's his knee.

I told a woman who mentioned killing a snake "Whatever you do, don't cut them in half. Each piece grows into a new snake. When they start to stink, it's not decomposition, it's a defense mechanism so nothing eats them before they grow back."

She believed me for 2 days.

Some people should be forced to wait five minutes after typing message before one can hit submit. Just to think about what one is submitting.














Didn't OP just make two snakes out of one?
