Some reptiles mimic venomous snakes - as an example, the (harmless) banded king snake has the same coloured bands as the coral (highly-venomous) snake. They're just arranged in a different order. Since both snakes live naturally in the same area - the banded king snake is avoided by most predators because of its resemblance to the coral snake.

If the colors are arranged in bands around the snake then there are two possibilities: a coral snake or a milk snake. If red bands touch yellow bands then it is a coral snake. Coral snakes highly venomous and have been known to kill people. If red bands touch black bands then it is a milk snake, which is not venomous.
