The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The eastern coral snake is the only dangerous elapid in the eastern United States, ringed in red, yellow and black. It spends most of its time buried in the leaf litter and is responsible for very few bites. Its pattern has given rise to one of the most frequently cited examples of mimicry in biology and to a famous rhyme.
