        Square or angular heads generally mean they’re venomous. Rounded heads mean non-venomous.

        That doesn’t mean non-venomous is safe. They can still bite and could transfer a bacteria. If you don’t know for sure, just keep your distance.

      I think the point is it is one species of snake that all looks the same yet some are venomous and others are not.

      For example. What if some rattle snakes were not venomous but others, that looked exactly the same, were.
