How do you repel black rat snake?
To discourage them from taking up residence on your property, start by eliminating their desired environments. Make sure your lawn is mowed and not overgrown with high weeds. Cut back overgrowth. Keep log piles and compost heaps a safe distance from your house. Use wire mesh fences at ground level around crawl spaces or your garden to keep snakes out of those places. Reducing the rodent population which is their main food supply will also send them elsewhere to eat. If you still find one slithering across your lawn, call the local Animal Control people to come remove it from your property.
Corn snakes belong to the Phylum Chordata, Sub-Phylum Vertebrata, Class Reptilia, Order Squamata.
If you would like me to go further I would. There is a sub-order of Serpentines, then Family Colubridae, Genus Elaphe, and finally, Species E. Guttata. [the E. for elaphe. it is binomial nomenclature, when giving the species or scientific name of an animal, usually the genus is given along with the species, and sometimes the genus is abbreviated.]

Different snakes come out at different time. Many snakes come out at night. For example, in Australia, many of the most poisonous snakes come out at night. But there are also snakes who come out in the day for example certain rattle snakes come out in the day to search for prey. Snakes are cold-blooded and depend on the temperature of their surroundings. If it is too hot, such as in deserts, they are more likely to be out in evenings and night. In other more temperate areas they are more likely to be out with the sun.

What kind of snake is red and black?
There are many different varieties of black-and-red-striped snakes; most infamously, the Coral snake vs. the Milk snake. Though they look nearly identical at first glance, one is deadly, and one is harmless. There is a little poem to help you remember the difference between the two.
To determine whether the snake is poisonous or not, simply look and the stripes and think of this poem:
Red on black? You're okay, Jack.
Red on yellow? They'll kill a fellow.
What fraction of snakes a poisonous?
Of the 3,500 or so known species of snake - only about 400 species (or 11 percent) are venomous. Not all venomous species possess sufficiently potent enough venom to kill a human.
How can you tell if a venomous snake isn't venomous?
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.
