red and yellow, and you are most likely to have been bitten by a venomous snake as opposed to a non venomous snake of similar yet different coloration between rings. seeking medical attention with a brief description as to the size, color, and makeup of the snake that had bitten you will be important for the appropriate delivery of the correct anti-venom. red and black, and there you got a marvelous evolutionary creation of nature. seeing as a red and yellow combination, not to be confused with a red and black combination, is indeed venomous, whereas the latter being on venomous, would indicate a sentience between the venomous and non-venomous species. Simply put, the evolutionary processes must have acknowledged the inherent venomous quality, or at least the learned predatory aversion to said venomous snakes by the non venomous snakes. Somehow, a snake having poor eyesight was able to manipulate its gene structure to mimic its venomous brethren to share in the perk of the red and yellow's signals though to a much lesser extent of a red and black. Although even to us, and OP, it's difficult to establish which is which. But that was the purpose. Why not just copy it red and yellow instead of red and black and further confuse the predator or simple human into remembering some vague rhyme scheme determining a red and black from a venomous snake and a red and yellow from a non-venomous? We'll likely never know unless further study into the genetics into the two disparate classes of species are done.
