Why do the Sonoran coral snake, Sonoran mountain kingsnake, the milk snake, and the Sonoran shovel-nosed snake look so similar?

# data[].attributes.body
These snakes look extremely similar because the Shovel nosed snake, Kingsnake, and Milk snake all copied the Coral snake to avoid predators.

# data[].attributes.body
All the mimicking snakes share at least a few square miles of space with the Coral snake leading to perfect opportunity to meet and copy the Coral snake.

The Coral snake is the only one of the four considered venomous. Thus the other three snakes copied to get predators to think twice.

The coral shares a location with the three other snakes and it is less likely to be eaten by prey this gives us plausible reasoning to believe that the other three snakes have mimicked the sonoran coral snake because of its venom.
