You can see that that they all look the same. This is called Batesian Mimicry meaning that the other snakes such as Sonoran Mountain snake,Milk snake,Sonoran shovel-nosed snake,garter snake,and the western patch-nosed snake all mimic the sonoran coral snake  to make their predators  think that the other snakes are venomous. Since they all have the same predators they look like the coral snake to avoid being eaten.
