There are 5 in Texas. Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Western Diamondback and Timber Rattler, and of course the Coral Snake.
Coral snake is neurotoxin very nasty. The others are more aggressive, wife got bit by copperhead. Took her two years to get over it, got complex regional pain syndrome(formerly know as RSD, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, aka Sudek's atrophy) Cotton mouth is VERY aggressive.
Timber Rattler is like the old joke where the guy goes to pee when camping, gets bit on the end of the penis by a snake. His buddy tells him to be still, runs down the hill to the doctor to find out what to do. Doctor tells him he would have to suck the poison out. Guy goes back, snake bit guy asks, "What did the doctor say?"
Doctor says you are going to die.
That is a pretty GD big coral snake. If it looks like a coral snake, leave it the hell alone, forget that feakin' "friend of Jack" crap, my name ain't Jack and that thing ain't my friend.
