depends where you are but if you where in brittain i would have to say a grass snake
I make two presumptions: 1. You're asking about snakes in the US, and 2. You're discussing the most common black-and-red-ringed snake. The Common Corn snake is often simply red and black and is harmless. In fact, it's a great snake to have around, since it eats large numbers of rats and mice, both of which can infest houses, eat our vegetables and carry diseases dangerous to humans. Snakes do not carry diseases that can infect humans and neither eat vegetables nor feel slimy. There are two red-black-and-yellow-banded snakes that are fairly common. In Florida, they harmless one is known as the Scarlet King Snake. In the west, a closely-related species is called the Mountain King Snake. They usually feature thick red bands with a black band at each end, and then a yellow band with a black band around each end, running in that manner the entire length of the snake. They are also harmless. They often kill and eat pit vipers like rattlers, copperheads and cottonmouths. There is a small snake similarly banded, but with the colors usually alternating slightly differently. These snakes have thick red bands with yellow bands touching the red at each end, then a black band, another yellow-red-yellow pattern, again, all the way down the snake. These are coral snakes -- related to the cobra, and are deadly. There are two fairly reliable ways to tell the harmless ones from the coral snakes. Here's a small mnemonic: Red touch yellow - bad for a fellow, Red touch black, good for Jack. That's nearly always reliable, but it's not invariant. If the snakes are small, say 8-9 inches long, just leave leave them alone. If they're fairly large (18 inches or longer) and have the red-black contacts, you're pretty safe in assuming they're king snakes. Coral snakes don't grow very big. Do yourself and the eco-systems a favor. Don't kill snakes just because you can. You're not a hero because you can kill a harmless little snake and they're an intricate part of our ecosystems. IMO are just as important as birds and dogs...maybe even moreso.
Identification: The Northern Ringneck Snake is shiny and uniformly dark blue to black in color with a slim band of orange or yellow scales that form a ring around its neck. The head is usually black or slate gray. Its underside is bright yellow to orange. This snake averages 12 to 15 inches in length. Similar species include: Southeastern Crowned Snake Distribution and Status: Within Indiana, the Northern Ringneck Snake can be found in southern areas and in a few northern areas of the state. The species is considered uncommon within the state. Ecology: Its preferred habitat consists of rocky ledges near rivers in shady or heavily wooded damp areas. While this snake is very secretive, it does not burrow. Rather, they hide under rocks, fallen bark or forest litter. It has been encountered in basements and greenhouses. When threatened this snake may release a pungent fluid, but they do not usually attempt to bite. The diet of ringneck snakes consists mostly of insect larvae, salamanders, earthworms and frogs.
It's name is Nothern Ribbon Snake. It has bright, well-defined stripes which runs down the centre of it's back and along the side of its body. The bold stripes are usually yellow contrasting with the darkish body and there is often darkish or brownish band b/w the side stripes and the belly.
: Common names: Asian pipe snakes.[2] The Cylindrophiidae are a monotypic family[2] containing the genus Cylindrophis found in Asia. These are burrowing snakes and all have checkered black-and-white bellies. Currently, 8 species are recognized and no subspecies- adapted from wikipedia-Cj
They are dark green with a yellow band around there neck
Black Snake Moan - band - was created in 1997.
Coral snakes are relatively small snakes. They are tri-colors - yellow, red and black. The coral snake distinguishes itself from copycats, such as the king snake, by the coloration of the stripes. If the yellow stripes touch the red stripes the snake is a coral snake.
mud snake
The males are larger than the females.It has a pale yellow head and paler yellow iris with black feather shafts. The chin and throat are brownish-black. There is a band of bright yellow running from its eyes around the back of the head. The juvenile has a grayer head with no band and their eyes have a gray iris. Their eyes are, of course, yellow.
