You can tell if a snake is venomous or not by looking at the head. The head of a venomous snake looks shorter, fatter, and wider in comparison to the neck. This is because of the venom glands located at the back of each side of the head. A non-venomous snake's head looks longer, thinner, and there is not a great deal of difference in the width of the head and neck. To get practise of determining if a snake is venomous or not look up these pictures on google. 1) Cotton mouth snake (venomous) 2) black rat snake & brown water snake (non-venomous look alike.) 3) copper head (venomous) 4) cornsnake (non venomous look alike). Can you tell which is venomous and which is not between the Peruvian milk snake and the coral snake? Just by looking? Good luck!

The snake you are referring to is likely the Coral Snake. Coral snakes have distinctive black, yellow, and red bands that encircle their bodies. They are known for their venomous bite and should be avoided in the wild.
