This is the largest Eastern Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius) that I have ever laid my hands on. This beautiful snake measured 39 &1/2 inches. The record is 47 &1/2 inches. This is the third coral snake in two weeks that I have been contacted to remove by individuals that see value in all wildlife. These coral snakes will be donated to Medtoxin Venom Laboratories where they will live out their lives providing venom to create antivenin to save lives. There has been a shortage of coral snake antivenin in the US for years and now that it is being manufactured again it requires a lot of coral snakes to produce.
