Red touching black, this rhyme only applies in certain geographical areas and could get you killed, just leave elapids alone and they’ll leave you alone. If you have to play with wild snakes there are safer ones in every area that coral snakes and their mimics exist, grab a rat snake an get bit all day, as long as you clean the bites you’ll be fine.
Red touch black, safe for jack. Red touch yellow, kill a fellow
