Red and yellow leave me alone please I’m afraid of humans.

Red and Yellow it'll Kill a fellow , Red and Black is a friend of Jack?

This is the only one i know and reading this thread has me so confused

"Once you move westward in the U.S., several small snake species occur that break this “rule.” These include the multi-colored and patterned ground snakes (Sonora semiannulata), the sand snakes (Chilomeniscus stramineus) and the shovel-nosed snakes (Chionactis occipitalis and C. palarostris). All are small, seldom exceeding 12 inches in length, and co-exist side-by-side with the small Arizona coral snake (Micruroides euryxanthus)."

Hes a friend of jack if jack doesnt poke him

I know it as Red and Yellow kill a fellow, red and black poison lack. These snakes are not aggressive though so he has that going for him at least

This is the correct answer. All the other ones saying to hug Red and Yellow are going to die if they play with that Coral Snake.

oof ive had it wrong for too long

I seem to recall a, Red and Black, venom lack

Red and black venom lack has helped me remember which one is venomous.

We always learned it as:

Probably shouldn't be poking any fellow...

Exactly. Unless on your gravestone you want it to read "Shouldn't have touched that" in order to serve as an example.

That’s my motto. Leave them all be!

That’s how I survive snakes too 😎 they’re cute, but fuck that if I’m going to get bit! Venomous or not 😬

Yes. That’s a coral snake. It’s beautiful. Bites are very rare. Leave it alone. If it’s around your kids or dogs, just spray it gently with a water hose and it will move along.

I’ve never understood the point of the rhyme, why not just avoid both?

[удалено]

Because people suck. Everytime I have ever gone diving anywhere on planet earth and there is an eel or crate or whatever some dumb mother fucker has to touch it, poke it, or annoy it. Like they have to or they’ll die.

It’s in case you’re bit, you need to be able to identify if you’re gonna die or not

I think the point is sparing the non venomous one.

That's how I feel about leaves of three, let it be. Best just to avoid touching all plants.

For God's sake, it's "red and yellow, kill a fellow"

Red and yellow, kill a fella. That means when the yellow is on both sides of red on a snake, that is a coral snake. Yes they are poisonous. Only thing is the has small mouths and got to bite on skin between your toes or loose skin. Yes it will kill your butt quickly.

Hey now, snakes just want to cuddle

No step on snek

Red to yellow, kiss that fellow.

Yeah, but that Dr. Pepper lip smacker makes it so enticing.

I'm not going to lie, I want to pet every snake, frog, and lizard I meet. I usually don't, but sometimes...

You are one of the good ones 👍

I've been having fun chilling with the Rio Grande Chirping Frogs lately. They pee in my hand 100% of the time but I put them closer to water each time. Cool frogs.

All snakes can be handled, some snakes can only be handled once.

Red on yellow, hug the fellow. Red on black, congrats you won a Cadillac!

Second place is a set of steak knives

Black don’t crack.

“Red meets yellow, congrats you can see colors, now leave it the fuck alone “

It's more fun to touch the ones with maracas on their tail.

“coral snake is the one with the tiny head that will do everything in its power to get away from you and basically only bites when you grab it” doesn’t rhyme as well

This is the truth 👍

Not sure I would be poking the coral snake, no matter how rare bites are...

I am no expert but I think the technical rhyme is "red touches yellow, we only have one of those kinds in Austin so don't touch it."

Roses are red, violets are blue, the stripes look cool when the snake moves like that.

Snake is like dude fuck directly off

I believe the actual saying is “don’t fuck with snakes”

Hey saying is don’t fucking pick up snakes. At least that’s what my wife says every time.

Brings to mind the time I pulled into my driveway and stepped out of the car within inches of a little coiled up copperhead that had been sunning itself out there.

Any color + Another any color, leave it the fuck alone

They’re actually very docile and will likely not attack you ever. Don’t poke it tho

not even a gentle poke?

How about “it’s a snake and leave him the hell alone” because that’s what I do.. no poking.. just turn and walk away.

Yup, red on black. Say goodbye to ur nutsack.

Red touches yellow, kill a fellow. This one in the video is a coral snake and is venomous.

red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black friend of jack

Red next to yellow will kill a fellow. Red next to black is a friend to Jack

glad to see they're still out there. reptiles are suffering big time with climate change and urbanization.

I too am glad

“Red next to black, jump the fuck back, red and yellow, cuddly fellow”

Fucking rental snake, innit?

You are paying for that snake to be dry cleaned.

Nonono it's red and black give it a smack.

Red black friend Jack. Red yellow kill a fellow

Red on yellow: kill a fellow

Red touch yellow kill a fellow, Red touch black, nice to jack. But if it looks like a coral snake I'd gtfo and not try to analyze the print

Growing up, I heard, "Red-black, friend of Jack. Red-yellow, kill a fellow." But I agree, why tempt fate? Leave the critters be.

Jesus Christ dude

No, it's exactly the opposite.

He’s pretty

"Red touch yellow, kill the fellow; red touch black, poison lack" - very useful when I watered my FL garden too enthusiatically & caused a coral snake to show himself & escape the area.

I believe it's: If it's sweet and yella, you got juice there, fella. If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town.

lol

The people who don’t realize this is a joke😂

;)

Red on yellow kill a fellow. Red on black venom lack

Why are you bothering him? He’s trying to escape.

I’m told that nothing lives around here that looks remotely like a coral snake but isn’t. So, if it looks like a coral snake in Austin, then it is.

pretty sure it's, "red and yellow? go say hello; red and black? boi, get back!"

Wrong, you dead

That Neurotoxin causes death by paralysis. It doesn't have to bite you. It only needs to rub it's teeth on your skin. Poking it is about as smart as slapping a bear.

Why are austinites obsessed with fucking with snakes? Leave it alone.

They have tiny mouths so it's hard to bite you.. unless it's your toes..

Oof.. it’s Red next to yellow, you’re a dead fellow. Red next to black, you’re ok Jack

Where was this?

south of manor

I believe the saying is “Despair Came Knocking”.

Red and yellow let it mellow. Red and black Jack do it again

The saying is leave it be

Yeah no birds r cool

Danger noodle no touchy.

Red and yellow, kill a fellow, red and black, friendly Jack.

Red on Black friend of Jack, Red on Yellow kill a fellow!

Total opposite

Yup that’s it

Hate any and all snakes. I leave them alone.

That rhyme doesn't apply to snakes in Texas. The blunt, black head with a short snout is the most easily identifiable feature of coral snakes, aside from the bright, ringed pattern, that may or may not have red touching yellow.

Red yellow black give that snake a smack

Red touch yellow, killed a fellow. Red touch black, friend of jack

that's a gucci snak

Docile snakes, leave them be.

"Look a snake! Let's walk the other way."

Red Touch Yellow, nice guide

I'm guessing you're not a native of those parts if you're walking around in tall grass, in the dark no less, with flip-flops on.

I’m native, it was right next to a yard with grass and a sidewalk.

When I was in middle school, 8th grade I think, I did a project on Coral snakes. At the time they were rated as one of the most venomous in the world (granted this was about 27 years ago), but the appropriate rhyme seemed to be:

Nah, it’s : “if it looks like a snake, get the fuck out, mate”

Red on yellow, kiss a fellow

Red and yellow, kiss a fellow.

I wasn't expecting to watch a suicide attempt. Why are people like this?

Red on black friend of Jack Red on yellow kill a fellow

No. Fuck no. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow, red touches black, friend of Jack. And it's correct. I mean yes, you should just avoid them, but so you know, the red touching yellows are true coral snakes.

It's red on yellow kills a fellow, red on black, friend of Jack....

Well sir, u got some balls

The snake was not threatened and was moving on, i knew the gentle tap would just cause it to skooch along a little quicker. Don’t try that with a rattlesnake though.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, leave the damn snake alone.

The rhyme goes like this:

There’s a ton of natural variation in coral snake patterns so the rhyme is not always reliable. Best to leave it alone.

That's a corral snake. In general, you should admire all snakes from a safe distance and not poke or harass any of them.

Why the hell poke the fellow if its black red or yellow?

No, no.. the saying is "Don't fuck with snakes".

Boo

It’s late, don’t scare me like that!

I always said:

I was joking about the rhyme.

Red on yellow kills a fellow.

so, about that gadsden flag ....

RUN 🏃‍♂️......! Omg I hate snakes..

All I can think about are the chigger bites he undoubtedly got while walking through a field in flip-flops.

all clear! I was barely off of a lawn

Red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black venom lack.

My rule is “if it’s a snake, don’t touch it”

My rhyme goes like this: "AHHHH!!! SNAKE!!! RUN AWAY!"

Red on yellow kill a fellow. Red on black friend to jack.

I mean just don’t fuck with it. Coral snakes are not especially know for being aggressive and the mouth design limits what it can do. Just leave it be and it’s all good…. Now moccasins should all be murdered on the spot.

I haven’t seen any cottonmouths in austin yet. I’m not saying they’re not here, just haven’t seen one in person yet.

The saying goes… If red touches yellow you are a dead fellow. If red touches black he’s your friend Jack.

My understanding is that you typically want to base the species on their snout. Coral snakes should have a short, stubby, black snout. Whereas, I believe, that the king snake has more of an elongated snout that isn't always black.

a neighbor’s dog walked right over one yesterday and it didn’t strike or make a fuss. the neighbor told me about it and i found the same snake just kinda snaking around in the rock mulch. I didn’t touch it ;)

Red on yellow, kill a fellow

Red touches yellow let it mellow, red touches black stay the fuck back. Don't poke random animals folks unless you're trying to win at the Darwin Awards this year yeah???

Red touches yellow, admire the fellow, don't fuck with it
