I hate poisonous snakes and non poisonous snakes. 
So none here.
I use to have a roommate that had a milk snake in the house I was in. I made them lock the door, stuff towels at the base of the door and make sure I knew that it was out of it's cage.

I never understood the desire to keep an ticking bomb in a glass container.

Apparently a snake made his way into my garage last week and wanted a home. I found him coiled up when I moved some stuff around. His head and body are no longer together. Garter snakes, grass snakes, king snakes and MAYBE rat and chicken snakes (if I can positively ID them in time) get a pass. Everything else is the devil. I just assumed this one was a moccasin since I live on a lake. I have a 2 year old that likes to wander into the garage. I can't have him picking up snakes.

There was a crazy guy that lived down the road from where I grew up. There was always a rumor that he kept snakes, but no one really thought it held much weight. Anyway, my dad was friends with the local state representative back then and they stopped by one afternoon just to introduce the state rep as elections were coming up. Before long the topic came up and the guy said, "Sure, I've got a couple. Want to see them?"
Naturally they said yes...
The go in the back to this well/pump house and that guy walks back in the corner and flips over a piece of tin and the whole well house went to shaking and rattling.
That son of a gun had about 15 rattlesnakes piled up back there. Big ones.
They were floored. They talked about and told that story for years.

I've been having this little guy (Pygmy Rattlesnake) for about 8 months or so. In this pic he is freshly shed and fed.Was 16 inches when I got him, 18 in. two sheddings later. I wanted to keep the last Copperhead I caught, but the wife wasn't having it. I convinced her that this one will never get out of the aquarium (anyone who has kept snakes knows this statement is never true) because he is too small and will stay small. Now that I've got the wife broken in, I'm looking to catch another Copperhead. I take venomous snakes very seriously. He's in a tall 29 gal. tank, and I installed 4 locking mechanisms on the corners to keep the top securely latched. If my kid is having friends over (or if I'm having drunken idiots over), I zip tie the top down. And I've never laid a finger on this snake - small venomous snakes are a bitch to get a proper grip on. For me, a 3-4 ft. Copperhead is the ideal venomous snake to handle.
ETA: Here's the Copperhead my wife wouldn't let me keep.
This was the first I bare-handed, though I did find a small stick to pin the head with first. Didn't have my snake stick with me. Awesome adrenaline rush to grab one of these guys. This post was edited on 5/9/14 at 10:51 am

The way to tell a venomous snake in the U.S. is just like I used to tell my "Yanquis" friends that would visit:
If it has cats eyes with a slender pupil, kill it or get the heck out of there!
If it has round black eyes then it is ok and leave it alone.
Exception is the Coral Snake, but they are so rare and non-aggressive. Look for the Black head if it might be a Coral though, then kill it. Don't want to kill a King Snake by accident
