i wouldnt say that corals are rare, but they certainly arent common. my dad is finishing the development of hampton hall and doing hampton pointe, and at least once a week they see one... especially in the swamps.
they have very small mouths, so they can usually only successfully bite you on the hand or foot, a very good reason not to go barefoot into the woods or wearing flipflops
just last week at hilton head christian academy, it was dusk and had just finished raining, i was helping my mom move her classroom an i stepped on a shallow storm drain, only about a foot deep, and there was a huge cottonmouth just waiting to bite me. i was in flipflops, so the Lord must have been looking out for me, because it just ran away and didn't get me
here is a copperhead in my neighborhood
