The Argentinian coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in central South America, especially the Dry Chaco region. It is large for its group, and its bright red, white and black rings make it easy to spot. Its venom is powerful, so it is important to know what it looks like and to give it plenty of room.1

Males and females look alike in their scale counts. This is unusual for the genus, where the sexes often differ.1
