1) Is this specimen poisonous?
2) What is the saying that specifies how to tell if it is a poisonous snake?
3) What does the venom do?
4) How can you cure/stop the effects of the venom?
This is either Lampropeltis or Elapidae but based on the questions it has to be Elapidae?? But I think it's Lampropeltis so idk
1. No?????
2. Something along the lines of "Red touch black, safe for Jack. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow."
3. Neurotoxin that paralyzes breathing muscles
4. Antivenom and artificial respiration methods

1. Identify the family and genus of this specimen.
2. Do these specimens breathe through pulmonary or cutaneous respiration?
3. One species of this genus is a ring species. Define ring species and name the species.
4. Explain a unique defense mechanism of this specimen having to do with its tail. (I am not looking for autotomy.)
