Some of the coral snake mimics have similar red/yellow/black bands seen from above, but those patterns are often broken on the belly. Here, you can see how the bands continue on the belly.
Not the best photo, but it does show some of the beauty of the snake's color and form.

Did you know that their fangs are too small to pierce your skin? Yeah, so no need to worry about getting bit by a coral snake.
Unfortunately for the people who've been killed by coral snakes, their fangs are quite capable of piercing our skin. As far as I know, only one drunk guy has died from a coral snake bite since coral snake antivenin became available.
