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.
Generally, though, you should not take the time to see which it is. If it has these colors, just stay away from it.
