We had an old pump house at lake bruin Louisiana at our old camp house for skiing and deer hunting
I stepped right by a Coral Snake on night ...within a half foot
I’m Deep South I know the diff
I have many poisonous snake tales from growing up in serious snake country
And has friends but mostly by cottonmouths
Later as an adult as a partner in the Pedro Segundo opal mine in Piaui Brazil

We had floods so bad in the village and surrounding areas with coral snakes everywhere on high ground and little kids were getting bit at night going to pee etc
Everyone slept in hammocks
We spent a lot of money to fly in emergency snake dope from Miami and Houston because São Paulo and Rio were out...
It was pitiful
19 kids in a village of maybe 5-7,000
Most under 10
I live on 10 aces middle Tennessee
We have rattlers on the hill slopes that rise up 2-500 foot around us....rocky
But I’ve only had one copperhead in my woodpile....no jokes please..lol
Other than that just usual garters and racers
I couldn’t handle that. Far too many snakes. Poor kids.
