Found on the road at night by friends. They brought it back to the house to show everyone and let people photograph it. It was released the next day where it came from.

Hi again Ashley. Good luck with your venom vs poison campaign. I've been telling people for years without any notable success :-) It would be nice to have this coral snake in my mission too (https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/240......). Thanks.
There is a snake that is very poisonous that looks similar to this one, but like you said you should not fear the snake unless you disturb it.
Welllllll
LOL where did you hear that at? Not true at all, there is plenty of anti-venom out there for this species and all other venomous snakes in the US.
There is no known anti-venom
Nice find! They sure are beautiful creatures.
This is not death in my face, nor is it poisonous. This is a venomous snake (venom is injected, poison is ingested), and just because it is venomous does not mean it is dangerous. It is only dangerous if I'm careless or do something stupid, snakes are nothing to fear.
caution is very poisonous !!
That's death in ur face
