    Can anyone tell me how (by just looking at it) can u tell a venemous snake from a non-vecemous snake ( im asking this because i have snakes in my back yard and i want to safely remove them)?

    Question #18215. Asked by snake problem.

    Most venomous snakes can be identified by their colouring as well as size. The
    very large snakes such as anacondas and pythons are not venomous. The following
    site has a variety of links all about snakes. Some should be of help to you.

    In North America at least, most venomous snakes have a triangular shaped head.

    I think I've answered this before but - treat all unknown animals as dangerous, get your local pest controller in to get rid of them.
    (in the UK we have only one native venomous snake (The Adder - identified by it's zig zag stipes but whose to say the snake hasn't escaped from a zoo!)

    I had a problem several years ago. I called a forestry agent to ask if snakes could be poisoned. He told me that the only way to get rid of a snake was to physically kill it. He also told me that if a snake has a rounded head and round eyes, it is not venemous. If a snake has a diamond shaped head and slit eyes, like a cat, it IS venemous.
    I also found out from my mother that burning sulphur will make them leave an area they inhabit. It was close to July, so I bought several 'smoke bombs' and set them off. After that I had no more snakes. I just didn't want to get close enought to see their eyes, or to kill them. I only have one more suggestion. Do NOT set them off in the basement. I set mine off all around the house, AND in the basement. My house smelt like sulphur for about three months.
