Best Answer

The Northern Ringneck snake is only deadly, normally, to the small animals that it eats. There are four US snakes that can be deadly: Rattlesnake, Copperhead, Water Moccasin, and the Coral Snake.

If the Northern Ringneck is disturbed, it may coil up its tail and show the red underbelly. If that does not work, it will emit a very bad smell. If that does not work, either, it will bite savagely but with no poison.

As with any animal bites, the Northern Ringneck bites can become infected, and if not treated, cause death in a very FEW cases.

They are members of the colubrid family of snakes - and while they are a venomous species, their nature is very placid and the fangs are too small to pose much of a threat to people.

No they are not poisonous. Their defense is showing off their bright under side, or emitting a foul odor, and if all else fails they will bite.

No. The group of snakes referred to as watersnakes are venomous. Be careful though. Some venomous snakes may still resemble water snakes.
