The milk snake got its name because people many years ago thought they drank milk directly from cows. The reason they thought that is because the snakes liked to hang around barns where the cows were kept. But they were not there for milk, they were there for the mice and rats which were feeding on the grain.

∙ 13y agoMilk snakes are brightly colored so that they can mimic the highly venomous coral snake. Bright colors in reptiles are often an indication of a venomous species. Their bright colors serve as a [false] warning to potential predators that they are venomous [which they are not]. This deters creatures from wanting to eat or otherwise harm the snake.
