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.
