No, they will bite but rat snakes are not venomous and they lack the two fangs seen in venomous species, a bite from any rat snake can be rather painful, as the saliva of the snake may contain bacteria causing an infection that must be treated.

What will you should do if a black king snake bite you?
Anything with a mouth can bite if provoked. Although some varieties of snakes are more defensive and therefore are more likely to bite than others. Rat snakes in the wild can be quite defensive, and even captive bred rat snakes will bite, although once they are used to humans this is normally because they can smell food on their hands and mistake them for prey. Rat snake bites are harmless, unless they become infected, of course - like a cat or dog bite.
