Yes, they all mean different things.
serpiente - snake of medium or large size (also a synonym of diablo)
culebra - snake of small size
coralillo - coral snake
víbora - viper (venomous snake with hinged fangs)

I agree. But coralillo is new to me as is diablo. I learn something everyday. - gringojrf, Apr 6, 2012

Sé que los coralillos viven en Florida alrededor de rocas. Son muy pequeños con colores vivos (amarillo, rojo) pero tan mortal como una cobra. Muy venenosos. ¡Ten cuidado! - readytodictate, Apr 9, 2012

Here in Guatemala I have heard "serpiente" and "culebra" used interchangeable.
I think that the bible uses "serpiente" for the Devil.
