Just sharing some pics of a coral snake. It was rescued from a cat.
Sorry if they aren't the best quality, couldn't get the little bugger to say cheese.

I have also come across a few blind snakes, people confuse them with baby browns and ring me in a panic

Naxx,
"Coral snake" is only a common name.
The "Australian Coral snake" is Brachyurophis australis
The "North American Coral snake" is Micrurus fulvius

That old saying only works for the 2 genera of North American Coral Snakes, is Central and South America it loses any conviction....eg M spixii etc etc
