What is the consensus for the reason for striking coloration of milksnakes? Is it that predators (like predatory birds) avoid red-ringed animals? Still seems strange for a secretive snake to have warning colors for diurnal birds.

On the coloration note, here's what to wear when your wife wants you to do something..
