Snakes can only strike 1/3 of their body length. You have to be within 1 foot of a 3 foot long snake to get bit. The easiest way to tell if the snake is venomous is to look at the shape of the head. If it is rounded it is non venomous. If shaped like a triangle, it is venomous. I would not consider killing any snake until it has been identified. Most non venomous snake are very vital to the ecosystem and play a great role in reducing rats and mice and other small rodents. I wouldn't recommend killing a venomous snake either, but if you have children around, their safety has to be taken into consideration and unless you are trained in handling snakes, I wouldn't try to pick one up. About 98% of all snakebites are a result of handling or trying to pick one up. I was bitten by a copperhead when I was 14 years old and it is a very painful experience. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. \:D \:D
