Maybe. I think that the biggest advantage is still that they make the snake less conspicuous. It'd be fun to see if there's any sort of correlation between diurnal habits and keeled scales, or crepuscular/nocturnal habits and smooth scales. Coral snake mimics and subterranean species should be excluded. Maybe the top 10 most venomous species as well.
