how badly a snake bite is depends on the species of snake and its size. a bite from a venomous snake will be much worse then a bite from a non-venomous snake.
bites from non-venomous snakes will consist of either punctures or scratches, the amount and size depending on the size of the snake. a small snake might not be able to break threw your skin, but a large snake could easily cause bleeding. the only risk from these is getting an infection.
a venomous snake bite can be very serious and even deadly. a hospital visit is usually required to treat bites from venomous snakes.
