But if you really are into needing to know....and really want to get close enough to tell the differences.....all non poisonous snakes have round black eyes.....poisonous have non round eyes and the pupils are slit like a cat's. The poisonous ones heads are some what triangular shaped due to the venom sacs on each side of the head.
####please be careful with information like this. There are always exceptions and here in Florida and in The Villages you may encounter a coral snake. These are highly venomous and are small little cute snakes with round eyes. If you see a small snake with red, yellow and black stripes and the red and yellow stripes are touching, do NOT try to pick it up.
These coral snakes look identical to the common king snake. The only difference is the red stripes touch black, not yellow. That small difference means the difference between life and death. DON'T MESS AROUND with snakes you are not familiar with!!!
