Background  Although the red-tailed coral snake ( Micrurus mipartitus ) is widely distributed in Colombia and its venom is highly neurotoxic and life threatening, envenomation by this species is rare. Therefore, this report may shed some light on the clinical presentation of  M. mipartitus  bites.    Case presentations  Herein, we describe two cases of patients bitten by red-tailed coral snakes, illustrating the clinical presentation of the victims, the outcomes and treatment provided.    Conclusion  Envenomation caused by  M. mipartitus  provokes predicable neurotoxicity, and its treatment should be based on respiratory support and use of specific antivenom.
