What should I do if I encounter a coral snake while fishing at night? Where do coral snakes usually move around?

In my hometown, the Bungarus serpentis is called "48-segment snake". In our eyes, it is much less terrifying than the five-step snake. When we are doing things in the wild, even if we see it, we will not pay much attention to it and wait for it to go away. Some people even go to count whether it has 48 silver rings. Because it will never attack people actively, unless you step on it.

What to do when you encounter a coral snake while fishing at night

Although the coral snake is poisonous, it is very docile. Unless you provoke it, it will actively avoid you even if you meet it by chance and will never attack you.

People who are bitten by a coral snake are either trying to catch it or accidentally touching it and mistaking it for danger.

As for encountering it when fishing at night in a fish pond, it is very normal, because the coral snake is active at night and hides during the day. As long as you find it and don't provoke it, it will actively avoid living things other than prey when it senses that they are approaching, and it will not chase people to bite. There is a saying that it will chase the light, I really don't know if this is true or not, anyway, I have never encountered such a thing, every time I see it, it is running away.

The coral snake likes to come out at night because it likes to eat small animals such as frogs and mice, and these small animals come out at night. The snakes are afraid of heat, so they are not active when the sun is too strong, and they all go to cool off. The coral snake is docile, but it is very poisonous. It comes out at night in fields, reservoirs and other places to hunt, so many people who go fishing at night can find them in the grass by the water. It is very troublesome if you accidentally miss them and step on them.

How to deal with a coral snake bite

The Bungarus serpentis is the most venomous snake in China. Its venom is so strong that it can kill a person in about 3-4 hours. Moreover, the condition after the bite is not obvious, and there is no obvious bleeding or pain. It is okay to know that it is a Bungarus serpentis. First, tie it up and loosen it every 10 minutes or so. If it is close to a tertiary hospital, you can directly take an ambulance to the hospital. What I am afraid of is that in the wild, far away from a large hospital, the drive is more than 3 hours, and if it is bitten on a finger or toe, the only suggestion is amputation
