The ring neck snake is mildly venomous , but don't worry, it uses the venom to kill frogs, worms, pill bugs, and lizards. The venom though is to mild and delivered in too low a dose to harm a human.

Ringneck snakes secrete a foul smelling odor when frightened.

While the Ringneck snake is certainly a venomous species, the fangs are to small and placed too far back in the snake's mouth to pierce human skin.

Is Northern Ringneck Snake deadly?

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.
