I love these, but don't understand where this coloration came from! Usually red in nature means venom or poison, but the animals that make use of Batesian mimicry "try" to somewhat copy patterns......I can't think of a venomous snake that looks anything like this. Anyone have any insight into this?

Incredible looking snake, btw.
