Watch Out! A Red Cobra?

The night watchman at the office found this snake.

 The picture makes it look like a deadly cobra or part of the coral snake family?! Not to be........

This is a Red Coffee snake and they are harmless. They do have the black head with a yellow band at the back. They don't get very big at all, in fact, this one was only 3-4 inches long. They are known for rising up like their hooded cousins to scare off predators and if that doesn't work they "play dead".
