This is like that "red touches yellow rhyme" that is completely useless if you aren't living in whatever specific region the rule originated from.

Well, i live in a region with coral snakes, so it's pretty useful for me.

But do you have king snakes too, that you need to differentiate from the coral snakes?

Seems like only the regions with both types need the rhyme (maybe they overlap completely, I'm no snake expert)

No, but somewhat useful when a red black and yellow snake shows up in the playground and you need to know if you should tell the teacher and cancel recess or not.
