Milksnakes certainly can hiss, and I believe that all snakes can. As for defense mechanisms, a lot of the younger ones like to musk, but I don't think they have any particularly odd defense mechanisms.

Not only will they hiss, but they will also shake their tails to mimic rattlesnakes. They do the old look at me I'm big & tough. Next line of defense is to try & bite when picked up & then crapping & musking in hopes to be put back down LOL Mark

i think when the tail shakes against leaves, it makes a rasping sound similar to rattlesnakes which would be intimidating to some potential predators.
