Milk 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.
The simple rhyme is "Red touches yellow - kill a fellow ! Red touches black - venom lack" So.... if the bands on a snake are red, yellow, black - It's a coral snake ! BUT - red, black, yellow - It's a king snake !
