Coral snakes are beautiful but so secretive, you wouldn't see much of them anyway. IMO, they aren't prettier than so many kinds of milk snakes and there's no venom to worry about with milk snakes. A milk snake would be great practice anyway, & I've heard people saying they got one just for that reason (similar behavior, very quick moves) and hard to contain (tiny snakes can be such escape artists). An "oops" with a milk snake is way better than an "oops" with a coral.
