Here's another of my paired snake/human poses using the G9 model and 3 coral snakes. The pose set supports G8F, G9F, Dawn 1/2, and La Femme and most of the snakes (apart from the corals) can also be used. The pose was inspired by one of my fav films, "The 13th Warrior" (film version of Michael Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead"). The Eastern Coral Snake is endemic to the southeastern United States. It is found from southeastern North Carolina, south through South Carolina and peninsular Florida, and westward through southern Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to southeastern Louisiana. Although it was listed as "Least Concern" in 2007 based on its total global population size, it is of significant conservation concern at the local level throughout most of its range. It is listed as “Endangered” in North Carolina, Imperiled in South Carolina, and of Highest Conservation Concern in Alabama. This species primarily other snakes and attenuate lizards, but it is also known to eat birds, frogs, fish, insects, and as mentioned, other, typically smaller snakes, including other coral snakes. The venom is a potent neurotoxin with a median LD50 of 1.3 mg/kg SC. Envenomation causes rapid paralysis and respiratory failure in prey. In humans, symptoms include local pain, sialorrhea, paresthesia, ptosis, slurred speech, double vision, blurred vision, weakness, paralysis, fasciculation and diplopia. In severe cases, envenomation may progress to respiratory arrest and muscular paralysis eventually leading to respiratory failure. It is estimated that 5 mg of venom can be lethal to humans. Bites and fatalities are very rare. Only two documented fatalities were attributed to this species in the 1950s, and only one has been reported since Wyeth antivenin became available for it in the 1960s. The snakes have a mortality rate between 5–20%.
