A little Longnosed Snake gets a second chance after being found stuck in a pool filter. These are harmless little snakes that are often mistaken for both kingsnakes and coralsnakes, even (especially?) by native Arizona residents.

A good-sized Costa Rican Coralsnake we saw in the grass on a family vacation. These are very different than the coralsnakes we have back in Arizona. It's much larger and willing to strike, which it did repeatedly. These snakes are a handful to get photos of, but we managed .

An Aquatic Coralsnake (Micrurus surinamensis) from the Peruvian Amazon. These are perhaps the most commonly encountered coralsnakes in the Amazon basin, where they hunt shallow waterways at night for fish and other snakes. #reptiles #snakes #NaturePhotography

For our state, your favorite old rhyme isn't as helpful as you may have thought. But, more importantly, how can a person actually tell the difference between a coralsnake and all the rest in Arizona? Here's our take.

This Sonoran Coralsnake was stuck in a gluetrap in north Phoenix. These snakes are, like all coralsnakes, venomous, but the only way to be bitten is to pick it up. CJ was able to free it from the trap and gently release it to better conditions.
