Corals are the other group of venomous snakes found in Trinidad. They range from a few inches up to two feet in length and are the width of one of your fingers. Their colors are mainly red, black, white, (somewhat patriotic) or yellow. It is always good to warn small children about these creatures, being so colorful they may be tempted to pick them up and play. These creatures are mostly found under logs and rocks. Their venom contain Neurotoxins which generally affects the nervous system, causing paralysis and death by suffocation.
