∙ 7y agoMilk snakes are have colored bands in the pattern red-black-yellow/white-black-red, which resmbles that of the venomous coral snakes. Milk snakes are in the genus Lampropeltis, known broadly as kingsnakes.
Corn snakes are orange/red in color with darker orange/red "saddles" rimmed in black running down their backs, similar-colored markings on their sides, and an arrow-shaped marking on the head. Corn snakes are in the genus Pantherophis, known broadly as rat snakes.

Scarlet snakes and scarlet king snakes are mimics of the coral snake. These are completely harmless but mimic the colors of the coral snake to make predators think they are dangerous.
