It is, it is red, yellow, and black. But the red is the prime colour. To me the name is a mouthful, but its what a lot of people call them here. I found out Coloradoans use a lot of Spanish apparently. Like Cañon instead of canyon.Nanatsu no Tsuki wrote:Cill Airne wrote:We have snakes every where. Mostly the Great Plains Rat Snake is what we see, which isn't venomous but they can be big and scare me. I live up close to the mountains, but further into the prairie you see all kinds of snakes, and whenever we go fishing we always see "culebra-real coralillos" (thats what I was first taught what they were called... I don't know why some people here call them a Spanish name) / milk snakes.
But prairie rattlesnakes are beyond common, and to me they look a lot like the rat snakes so I just avoid them and get one of my friends to deal with them.
We also have these weird snakes called blind snakes. They're tiny (like you measure them in cm's they're so small)... I used to think they were weird looking worms, and would pick them up before I found out they're a type of snake. They're rare though.
Probably because it was the name given by the Spanish and it stuck or something. That means ''royal coral snake'. Is it reddish or something?
Did you know some snakes try to masquerade as rattles so as to intimidate others? That happen to us. We got a black garden snake get into the house and when my husband tried to get it, it started moving the back end of it's body, imitating a rattle. It was very interesting.
Yeah, one of the common, non-dangerous snakes here does it. They actually make a rattling noise, too. And a lot of the snakes are brown and black, so they all look quite similar to me. I just avoid them all.
