Another way to quickly tell a gopher snake from a buzz tail is that the rattlers seem to have more dull or dusty skin. Gophers always look shiny to me. |
what do you mean it refers to coral snakes? it also refers to the king snake. it is red/black/white, it is not a coral snake and it is not poisonous.
