A poisonous snake has a triangular head, but it could be some exotic poisonous snake that escaped from a collector. Got a pellet gun?

I'm no expert, but stick your finger out and see if it bites.

Rule of thumb, if it doesn't have bright colors or gaudy patterns on it, it's probably not poisonous.

Do what OldFriend said.

Garter snake. They are harmless.

When I was in the fourth grade, I wouldn't think of going to school without one in my pocket.

I had a real mean teacher, but she knew I was armed. : )

Well, it COULD be an Adder... however, if there are two then they are most likely Multipliers... :0)

Non posinous snakes also typically have round eyes.

I'm sorry, but seriously be careful because there could be a lot more that you have not yet found.
