Yes Cheri, you are absolutely right, but the bad thing about it is I can't remember the riddle about red to black and red to yellow, which one is the coral and which one is the king.  I had a real big problem with them one year I was seeing all kinds of snakes and they were under my house.  Everytime I went outside it seemed like I either saw one go under or come out from under the house.  I am scared of them. They may not hurt me, but they will make me hurt myself!  I had mice the winter before and they were after them.  They rid me of the mouse in the house problem.  I put out sulfur all around the perimeter and it got rid of them.  Well, needless to say, the mice came back.  I am always finding baby snakes and grown ones.  One day as I was coming out my back door I saw the granddaddy of them all (chicken snake) coming out from the opening where the air conditioner sits.  He was a whopper.  I ran for the shovel and he was gone when I got back.  I don't care what the snake experts and snake lovers say, I will kill every snake I see if I get the chance.  Especially the poisousnous ones.
