No, they are not. They do not have venom sacs like say Cobras and they mostly use their strength to kill and maim their prey for consumption. No snake is poisonous. Poison is a toxin that must be ingested by the victim whereas venom is injected through fangs, a stinger, or a similar apparatus.

Most of the the time they will hide in obviously, dark and warm places. Your water heater, the warming drawer of the stove, the back of your refrigerator. Or sometimes I have even been told , inside your furniture.

no probaly not ball pythons are very picky with what they decide to eat and not eat such as i have seen people feed a ball python a white mouse every week and then try to feed it a brown mouse and it will turn its nose up to it
if his tank is to small he we be feeling claustrophobic and threatened by any body who goes to touch him. or he is hungry, but there could be some other cause so i recommend you get him to a vet as soon as possible. hope i helped. but was he due to be fed when he started acting all weird? if so he will be hungry. but if you feed him and he sees your hand while you feed him he will associate your hand with food so that could be why he goes to strike. this is not a fake answer it has happened to a friend, he could be sizing you up to eat you so don't leave him unattended out of his cage if he has one but if all this continues even after you've fed him i would recommend getting him to a vet because they can tell you what to do in this situation.

Which of these snakes are poisonous corn snake milk snake water moccasinball python?
None of those snakes are "poisonous" because the correct term is "venomous".
To put it simply, venom is injected while poison is in ingested. So if something with a toxin stings or bites you.... it is venomous. If you eat it or absorb it through the skin or membranes it is poisonous.
to return to the original question. Water moccasins (also know and cotton mouths, and trap jaws) are venomous. However there has never been a recorded death attributed to a moccasin as far as I know.
The other snakes, Corns, milks, and ball pythons are all actually excellent starter pets for someone looking to get a pet snake.
