The Red Chain Snake (Lycodon rufozonatus ), also known as the Fire Red Chain, the Red Spotted Snake, and the Three Shift Snake, is a non-venomous snake found in China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Russia. The back of the body is blackish brown with reddish color. It is named for the narrow red transverse stripes of 51~87+12~30 or more, but some individuals lack the red stripes. Cheek scales often enter the orbit. The back of the head is black, the scale margins are red, there is a "∧"-shaped red spot on the occipital region, and there is a black stripe on the postorbital region that reaches back to the 7th upper lip scale. Most of them live in fields, riversides, hills and near water areas, and are often found around houses, and are often found in villagers' hospitals.

Often considered non-venomous, but its oral secretions may be harmful to humans. Bites should not be taken lightly and should be disinfected and treated promptly. The red chain snake has posterior teeth, and it is debatable whether these are posterior sulcus teeth and whether they are venomous.
