Are eastern rat snakes poisonous

Answer 1

Yes. The USA has 13 species of rattlesnakes, the eastern diamondback, the western diamondback, the western rattlesnake, the timber rattlesnake, the sidewinder, the Mojave rattlesnake, the tiger rattlesnake, the rock rattlesnake, the ridgenose rattlesnake, and pygmy rattlesnakes are some of the more common ones. Rattlesnakes account for over 7,000 painful bites a year, but there are only 9 or 10 deaths a year from these bites. The strongest venom occurs in the Mojave and Tiger Rattlesnakes but there are fewer of these bites than other snakes. More bites occur in North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas and Georgia than other states.

No, rattlesnakes are venomous, Hollywood and self-proclaimed experts lazily spout information without any research. To be clear, a rattlesnake has to apply it's venmon, not it's poison, hence the difference and distinction.
