The article's a bit vague. All the wild corals I've seen (with one possible exception) have been quite a bit SKINNIER than the photos I've seen of scarlet kings (though I've only ever seen one wild one in person). Perhaps that's what he meant.

More importantly, any who's seen a couple of corals in person would never mistake one for a scarlet. The colors are too different.

I suspect the reporter took some liberties in saying that the guy "has been handling snakes for 45 years". That doesn't fit well with "once owned *A* rattlesnake".
