The scarlet snake is a small non-venomous snake with bright coloration consisting of red, black, and white stripes. It lives in the southeastern part of North America and feeds mainly on the eggs of other reptiles.
The scarlet snake differs from the venomous coral snake in the order of the stripes: its red color touches the white. It is beneficial for nature because it eats the eggs of other reptiles and helps maintain balance in forest ecosystems.
