No, not all snakes are dangerous.

Actually, the majority of them are quiet safe. Most snakes pose no threat at all to humans. In fact, snakes tend to help people. They keep down populations of insects and rodents, which helps to reduce disease in populated areas.

There are some that are venomous or large enough to leave a nasty bite. Some large constrictors can pose a threat as well. Even then, most of the dangerous snakes will avoid people when they can help it.

All snakes will bite if they feel threatened but only those that are venomous or are large constrictors pose any threat to humans. Even those which may be dangerous will generally avoid a confrontation and cause no harm if they are left alone.

How many babies does a prairie kingsnake have?

Prairie kingsnakes are dietary generalists and feed on a wide variety of prey. Mammals, birds, birds eggs, snakes, lizards, frogs, and reptile eggs have been reported as food. Prairie kings, like other kingsnakes, will eat venomous snakes. They are immune to the venom of North American venomous snakes and such snakes will use other methods to escape kingsnakes. Instead of striking, the the venomous species will throw loops of coils at the kingsnake in an attempt to bat the head and make a quick escape. Prairie kingsnakes are even known to consume other prairie kingsnakes (Smith, 1961). Kingsnakes are constrictors; killing their prey by suffocation before devouring it.
