Yes, you can. The simple way is to look at the snake. A venomous snake generally has a neck and then the head. The head is usually diamond shaped and you can see where the head and body are different. A non venomous snake has one long line from the body to the head. One reason there is a difference is the poison sacks in the venomous snake create the look of a neck and the head is more pointed than round because of the fangs.

How do you know a snake is venoumous?

You can tell if a snake is venomous or not by looking at the head. The head of a venomous snake looks shorter, fatter, and wider in comparison to the neck. This is because of the venom glands located at the back of each side of the head. A non-venomous snake's head looks longer, thinner, and there is not a great deal of difference in the width of the head and neck. To get practise of determining if a snake is venomous or not look up these pictures on google. 1) Cotton mouth snake (venomous) 2) black rat snake & brown water snake (non-venomous look alike.) 3) copper head (venomous) 4) cornsnake (non venomous look alike).
