They can be either. Most snakes are nonvenomous and make good pets, except large constrictors, which have been known to kill humans. About a quarter of snake species are venomous, though some are only mildly so. A few species though have venom so powerful that a bite is guaranteed to kill you if you do not get proper treatment.

Are black and gray snakes dangerous?

It depends. Color alone does not identify a species. Some gray snakes, such as the great plains rat snake, are harmless while others such as rattlesnakes, can be deadly. The same goes for black snakes. If you see a snake and cannot identify the species it is best to steer clear in case it is venomous.
