Per this reference.. the Coral Snake DOES have fangs and does not have
to chew.  I did a Google search using "coral snake" and this is from
the first hit.  www.wf.net/~snake/coral.htm

The grooved jaw along with tiny hollow fixed fangs assure that the
coral has a poor delivery system for getting its venom into the
victim. However, the coral snake does not have to "chew" its victim to
inflict a painfully venomous bite, contrary to popular myth.

Now, the Gila Monster falls into the category of chewers..
