Anything with a mouth can bite if provoked. Although some varieties of snakes are more defensive and therefore are more likely to bite than others. Rat snakes in the wild can be quite defensive, and even captive bred rat snakes will bite, although once they are used to humans this is normally because they can smell food on their hands and mistake them for prey. Rat snake bites are harmless, unless they become infected, of course - like a cat or dog bite.
