While generally shy and nonconfrontational, the snake's neurotoxic venom can produce extreme pain, and even death. (Image credit: National Natural Toxins Research Center at Texas A&M University-Kingsville) Coral snakes are small, vibrantly colored, highly venomous snakes. They have the second-...

Coral snake, any of more than 100 species of small, secretive, and brightly patterned venomous snakes of the cobra family (Elapidae). Most species are tricolored (rarely bicolored), with various combinations of red, black, and yellow or white rings. All
A number of similarly colored species of nonvenomous snakes, such as the colubrid scarlet snake (Cemophora coccinea) mimic that of the Eastern coral snake, giving rise to the folk rhyme: “Red touches black, friend of Jack, red touches yellow, kill a fellow.” The sea snakes are venomous...
In the case of a scarlet king snake, the ring pattern is red, black, yellow, black, red, or maybe blue. 2 See if the snake has a black and yellow tail.The venomous coral snake's tail has only black and yellow bands with no red. The non-venomous scarlet king snake's band pattern...

phenotypic and phylogenetic data across all New World snake species to demonstrate that shifts to mimetic coloration in nonvenomous snakes are highly correlated with coral snakes in both space and time, providing overwhelming support for Batesian mimicry. We also find that bidirectional transitions betwe...
Here we integrate distributional, phenotypic and phylogenetic data across all New World snake species to demonstrate that shifts to mimetic coloration in nonvenomous snakes are highly correlated with coral snakes in both space and time, providing overwhelming support for Batesian mimicry. We also find...
