Which reptiles is not poisonous?
As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Many snakes, however, are venomous. (If you bite the snake and you die, it's poisonous. If the snake bites you and you die, it's venomous.) In North America, if it's not a rattler, copperhead, cottonmouth, or coral snake, it's not venomous. The first three are pit-vipers and easy to recognize. They have a triangular head, and pits between their eyes and nostrils. The coral snake is a bit tricky since it looks almost identical to the scarlet king snake. As a general rule, if the snake is red, yellow, and black, give it lots of room. If you are not sure whether a snake is venomous or not, leave it alone. All snakes, including venomous ones, are edible.

What would you have done if you had gotten bitten by a rattlesnake in the 1850s?
If someone got bitten by a venomous snake, another pioneer would take a knife and cut an "x" at the bite location. They would then suck out the blood and hopefully the poison. Sometimes this worked and sometimes this didn't.If it didn't work the victim would most likely die. If they happen to be lucky enough to survive, the body part that was bitten would normally have to be amputated. If they were bitten on their core, death was almost certain.

It's called mimicry. Some non-venomous species adopt similar colour patterns to venomous species. A typical example would be certain members of the (harmless) Milk snake family.
