I believe 8 as pictured is a ‘scarlet kingsnake’.
Awesome post! however:
number 8 (‘coral snake’) is an accidental mis-identification. red by yellow KILL A FELLOW, red by black FRIEND OF JACK. Picture accidentally shows the relatively harmless species, should correct the picture could lead do someone making a very dangerous mistake. The real dangerous and deadly CORAL SNAKE has RED BY YELLOW (looks very similar). One pictured is an example of a copycat species, known as ‘mimicry’ in evolution, to merely appear dangerous, to scare of predators etc. (it’s not a picture of a ‘coral snake’, the one that rightly belongs on this MOST DANGEROUS list).
Just looking to help share information!
The picture you have of a “coral snake” is NOT a coral snake!
The photo is of a scarlet king snake, which is non venomous.
Come on people! Do some research!
