No coral snakes either. But then the south didn’t have boa’s in their waters either till people started putting them there.
Here’s a rhyme to remember after some kid chased me around with a king snake telling me it was a coral as a kid so motivated me to learn.
The coral snake rhyme varies from person to person, but the general premise is the same: Red touch black, safe for Jack. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. The coral snake will have bands of red touching smaller bands of yellow. It is very uncommon to find a coral snake.
