Snake In The Pool !

[Pathfinder]

I got a mental image of someone doing a commando chicken dance at the side of his pool:laughing:
We had a moose blunder into our pool once. They may not be venomous but I guarantee you'd scramble as fast to get out of the pool with one of those beasts thrashing about
Different climate, different hazards eh.

Acording to this you may wish to re think it

Comments: . Because the coral snake is a relative of the cobras, people believe its bite nearly always is fatal. While its bite is serious and should receive immediate medical attention, statistics suggest that the bite of the coral snake is less threatening than the bite of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake...

Actually, Kraken is practically dead on.

The coral is a neurotoxic rear-fanged snake, as opposed to a hemotoxic pit viper like the eastern diamondback. Makes it much more difficult to deliver it's venom to something the size of a human, unless, of course, it manages to grab the tip of a finger... (although, ounce for ounce, the coral's nervous system attacking venom is more lethal).

Additionally, the coral is a night roamer... it doesn't like company, is extremely non-aggressive, and will run away from confrontation.

In the pool, it was probably desperately looking for a way out... (which you admirably provided)...

... and they *are* pretty!

In west Texas they are a constant menace on oil rig sites. They like to get inside tool boxes to keep cool during the day. One of the more common places for a man to get bit is on the webbing between the thumb and index finger.
