Those two tricks y'all are mentioning are only good for snakes in the US, when you get outside of the US they do not apply anymore. And this is not a coral snake or a scarlet kingsnake, it is a Pueblan milk snake, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampropeltis_triangulum_campbelli
An easy way to distinguish between a coral snake and a king snake is to remember this rime: red and black, a friend of Jack, red and yellow will kill a fellow. Coral snakes' red and yellow bands touch and king snakes' do not.
This is not a 'Coral snake' If it was then the red rings would touch the yellow ones.
