which sounds great to me. They are in the Krait family which is to say akin to the Cobra. The venom paralyzes the breathing muscles which adds urgency to the need for medical attention. However their fangs are short and rearward placed. They actually need to chew a bit to get venom into a victim. Ewe.
There is a King Snake that looks almost like a really big Coral snake too, hence the rhyme. Either way bright colors in the animal kingdom mean keep away or mimic that of a potent adversary.
