Some snakes are, and some snakes aren't. Most are the same or similar colors to their environments, in order to blend in and not be eaten. The green tree python, for example, is a bright green snake that blends in easily with its vibrant forest surroundings. On the other hand, there are other snakes that have bright, vibrant colors, often to showcase that they are poisonous (so that other animals won't harass them). The coral snake is an example of this: it is a very venomous snake that has bands of red, black, and yellow very distinct from its environment. As a result, few predators will attempt to bother such a venomous creature. However, there are also some snakes that are harmless, but still have vibrant colors. The milk snake, for example, looks almost exactly like the coral snake. However, the milk snake is nonvenomous. This kind of mimicry is called Batesian mimicry, in which a harmless organism mimics a dangerous one in order to attain the safety that the dangerous one possesses.
