What type of snakes do not squeese or bite?
The dead kind. Sorry to tell you this but the way snakes kill their live pray is by striking at the head, holding on and consricting the body of the prey by squeezing them to where they cannot breathe. However, you can get a snake, such as a corn snake, that is easy to socialize and that you can get used to being handled that will not bite or squeeze when the handler is relaxed and slow. Snakes see heat they bite either because they're scared or because they are hungry.
Does a poisonous snake die if it bites itself?
It depends on the snakes. Many snakes are immune to the venomous snakes that live in the same geographic areas. Most snakes, if not all, are immune to their own venom, but this is an evolutionary process produced over the past 100 million years. If two snakes of the same species bit each other, there would most likely be no effect from the venom. If two snakes of different species, from different parts of the world bit each other, it is very likely that both snakes would experience a strong reaction to the other's venom. Biting a venomous snake is not harmful as long as the stored venom is avoided. Even then, venom is not dangerous if swallowed, but is very dangerous if it enters an open wound on the biter's skin or mouth. Many birds, snakes and other animals kill and eat venomous snakes. Some have varying degrees of immunity and some are just careful. The pig is believed to get its immunity to snake bite from its thick layer of fat. For more information see the Related Link below.

Is a hognose snake harmless?
I actually own one myself and found out through a herpitologist friend of mine that these snakes actually do have venom glands in fangs, but the location of these fangs are so far back in the mouth of the snake that it would be damn near impossible for a human to be envenomated by them, making them available for commercial sale to the public. Just a note for you if you ever wonder, if they can be purchased at a reptile show without the need for the venomous license, then they are non lethal to humans. ie: scorpions, tarantulas and the hognose... they are all venomous, but not in a lethal way.... Truthfully, I own a bunch of snakes and would welcome the bite of my Hognose over the bite of my Burmese Python!!! The hognose is by far the most docile of my snakes and the better feeder of all of them as well. Typically though, hog noses have to go through scented feedings before accepting mice plain.
How does a king cobra eat?
It usually eats snakes so it does a quick venomous bite and waits until the snake dies. In some cases the King Cobra constricts the snake but this is very rare. After the pray is dead the King Cobra stretches it's mouth and swallows it. A King Cobra could last months from just 1 meal.
