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)

Does the alleged snake have any marketable skills?

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

Not enough info.

Juvenile snakes often change appearance as they mature.

Where are you located?

Do a Google search for snakes + your area.

If you have kids, they usually know the local "snake expert."

Good luck!

It sounds harmless.

If it has round pupils it is harmless.

Just put it outdoors.

Put a garbage can over it. Go online and search for snakes...see if you recognize it.

The way mom (she's 83) taught us to handle them is to....
find a strong stick with a forked end. Put the snake on soft ground. Then gently place the fork of the stick behind the head of the snake. Then push him into the gound....
