Aspidelaps lubricus is also known as the coral snake, the Spotted Harlequin Snake, or the eastern coral snake. This venomous snake is native to South Africa and can grow up to 75 centimeters long. The Aspidelaps lubricus has a distinctive red, yellow, and black banded color pattern that is often confused with non-venomous snakes like the scarlet snake and the milk snake. This species of snake is often avoided by humans due to their venomous bite and aggressive behavior. Synonyms for the Aspidelaps lubricus include the Cape Coral Snake, the South African Coral Snake, and the Spotted Harlequin Snake.
