well snakes are creations by god and are slithering creatures, there are 3 groups of snakes, venomous, nonvenomous, and constrictors. venomous snakes are snakes that are deadly so you do not want to get near them, how you can tell the snake is venomous you can look at it head shape, if its a triangle its a venomous or a constrictor. it will have a round head if its a nonvenomous. constrictors are snakes that will squeeze and choke you then eat you. lucky for us they are mostly inAfrica. if you were to FUD a snake its most likely to be nonvenomous.

Are snakes friends or foes?
Mostly,snakes are "friends," if you are referring to humans. There are many venomous snakes, and they have caused human deaths. However, ecologically, theyhelp us by reducing the number of vermin (such as mice, rats, etc.) and in that way they help people. A bull snake, for example, may live near a barn, and prevent mice from ruining the hay. Most snakes are not venomous; and among those that are, they generally will not bite a human unless threatened or provoked.Some snakes will bite just to protect themselves and their eggs.
How often did Vietnam soldiers encounter venomous snakes?
So, this takes a bit of common sense guessing provided you know a little background--there are 37 different venomous snakes found in Viet Nam. When you think about how snakes live and how most army platoons were essentially walking through the wilderness, chances are very high that they encountered venomous snakes fairly often. As one GI explains, "The Army didn't tell us how to tell "good" snakes from "bad" snakes..." ( (ichiban1.org/html/stories/story_38.htm) According to the Straight Dope, only aobut 25-50 actual snake bites were reported annually during the war, but that doesn't mean that they weren't encountering snakes on a daily basis.
Which state has the largest number of poisonous reptile species?
Alaska has no snake species, in fact it has no reptile species at all. Hawaii has no native land dwelling reptile species, including snakes, but it has a well established, (likely) introduced snake species, the Island Blind Snake. There is also a sea snake. Hawaii also has several introduced lizard species. As far as snakes in the contiguous US, I would guess that Maine or another Northern New England state has the fewest species. Wyoming also has relatively few.

Why do herpetologist milk poisonous snakes?
The anti-venom for many poisonous snakes, as well as a few other medically valuable substances, are made from the venom of poisonous snakes. Also, if someone has to handle poisonous snakes regularly, if they are milked on a set schedule, it reduces the danger of a bite from one of the snakes - the venom injected would be a tiny amount of normal.
