The size shape of the head. If you see one with a fat triangle shaped head its venomous. More oval not triangle, safe boi.


That's not always a telltale sign. Some non-venomous snakes will move their jaws in a way to make their head look more like a venomous snake's head to predators. Sneaky fellas.

Yep, we cornered a mature rat snake and he definitely flattened out his head. He was able able to shake his take in a way to create a rattling sound. Not as distinct as a rattler, but it was trying imitate it.
