I just googled both of these things. I was wondering if Coral Snakes are poisonous, and learned that they have one of the strongest venoms of all the snakes. Good grief. Seeing one that up close and personal is scary. So glad you weren't bitten.

Never heard of Earth Boxes, so I just read all about them. Nice!

Yes, they are venomous and we have them here in Florida. I too am so glad you did not get bitten Pod. Be careful.

Thanks to you both for the concern. I'm sure you read that unlike all the other poisonous snakes, these guys don't have fangs. You almost have to let them gnaw on you to be exposed to their venom. Their bright colors make them stand out in a crowd. Easy to see and not as scary to me as some of the others that have better camo.
Like this guy on my driveway. One of my tomcats was stalking him.
