I don't believe in this explanation, even if it is fairly well grounded. I think that if this really should be it, I mean that tricolor Lampropeltis only appear color striking out of their natural habitat, they would have developed much duller colors thru time.

Otherwise one could ask why not every snake species has more striking colors, at least the species living in the same habitat as tricolor kings and milks do.
