There are no poisonous snakes...just venomous snakes! The topic should be Venomous and non Venomous snakes.
Common error with the words.
Be sure to note the difference!

SNAKE/SCORPION BITE: WHAT TO DO.

*Have been taking care of scorpion bite since dawn?*

*Please if you are bitten by a scorpion/snake, hope you know there are ways you can curb it without going to the hospital?*

*Reason am always nagging on ginger, turmeric, garlic, cinnamon to cook not maggi.*

*Well, it saved me today.*

*I equally had limes at home.*

*The moment I heard a scream, what's that?*

_*Scorpion!!!*_

*" Scorpion in my house ?"*

*"Yes, it bite me from the bed"*


*" OK, papa get me the limes in the fridge please. "*

*I tore the spot, ensured blood spilled, then placed the lime there to magnetize the poisons.*

*The moment he told me the pain was gone, I removed it.*

*Then made a paste of garlic and rubbed on his swollen leg and in 1 min, Gbam!*

*Everything disappeared!*
*He's off for work this morning.*

*This is exactly same thing I do for snake bites.*

*Whether you squeeze or just cut the fruit and place on the bloody leg, the important thing is contact with the blood.*

*You will gradually feel the pain going out of you.*

*Please let's all try and have these things in our homes.*

*Even if you want to live your life anyhow, these are for rainy days.*

*Do exactly what I did, even if its a snake.*

*After removing the poisons with lime, make a paste of any of the four herbs listed above and apply then rest.*

*You don't need any Ambulance.*

*You need not some chemicals either.*

*I don't joke with citrus fruits, they are always in my house.*

*Oranges, lemons, and limes. Because they save me.*

*Anytime I urinate and it's yellow, " papa, boil ginger in water for me."*

*He brings the ginger water for me, I squeeze in orange, lemons, limes, drink.*

*And the next urine will be clear again.*

*Any time my urine is smelly, because of my love for excess protein, I do same.*

And before you know it
this leads to the kidney issues you hear of on a daily basis

*Because people do not have this secret, they run to the hospitals and compound everything.*

*I just leaked a secret now.*
*So that whenever you get any strange color of urine, or smells foul, do the needful.*

*I expect we always apply everything we learn here.*

_*Thank you all.*_

Snake can never be of the same characteristics.

Before you go astray educationally, learn their difference for your own good.

Kudos to the original poster.

Knowledge is power.
Re: Know The Differences Between Poisonous And Non Poisonous Snakes by otunbadan(m): 7:40pm On Jun 18, 2018
So when we see snake, we should calm down and examine it, all this things op wrote is for biology exams, after that if you see try run oooooo...


Elijahrona:
Snakes are scary. The thought of a snake nearby is enough to drive some people crazy. We all run from snakes because we fear their poisonous bites. What if not all snake bites are poisonous? If so, how can we identify a snake based on the differences between poisonous and non poisonous snakes? Read this article to satisfy your curiosity.

Differences between poisonous and non poisonous snakes

Head
Heads of Poisonous snakes are mostly triangular (because their necks are broad) while the heads of non poisonous snakes are more flattened than that of poisonous ones.

Colour
Poisonous snakes have bright colours. We could say pretty hurts. Non poisonous snakes aren't as brightly coloured.

Heat-sensitive pit
Poisonous snakes have a heat-sensitive pit between their eyes and nostrils. This pit is used to locate warm blooded animals like mammals. Non poisonous snakes lack such pits. This is one of the major differences between poisonous and non poisonous snakes

Rattle
All rattlesnakes are poisonous therefore, if you see a rattle or hear its sound, know that it's a poisonous snake.


Head scales
In poisonous snakes, the scales on top of their heads are usually small. Non poisonous snakes however have larger scales on top of their heads

Visibility while swimming
When poisonous snakes swim, they're fully visible because they swim at the surface of the water. On the other hand, non poisonous snakes swim partly or fully invisible because they swim deep.

Teeth
Poisonous snakes have Fangs (Large Maxillary teeth with groves). you can identify fangs by seeing two long teeth in the front. Non poisonous snakes lack fangs, their teeth are even and uniform. This is one of the major differences between poisonous and non poisonous snakes

Bite marks
I just hope you've not been bitten by a snake. You could examine snake bitten animals though. The bite mark of poisonous snakes look like twin punctures because of the fangs. Non poisonous snakes' bite marks don't appear as two punctures.

Examples of poisonous snakes
Black Mamba
King cobra
Eastern brown snake
Coastal taipan
Inland taipan
Many-branded krait
Tiger snake
Boomslang
Mamushi
E.t.c


Examples of non poisonous snakes
Northern water snake
Four-lined snake
Eastern garter snake
Emerald tree boa
Rough green snake
Bull snake
black rat snake
Milk snake
Python
Anaconda
E.t.c


Now that you know some differences between poisonous and non poisonous snakes
So long as you aren't a zoologist, please stay clear from snakes. Don't go experimenting. Stay safe. View and share the photo below. It is a summarised list of differences.

Olalan:
To majority all snakes are poisonous.
BTW after a snake bite who remembers to find the snake to know it's type rather the first thing that co
mes to mind is getting treated for the bite

You can’t get treated for the bite if you don’t or can not identify the snake. Every snake has a specific anti-venom usually developed from the venom of the snake and snake venom act differently in the human body. So yes, if you get bitten by a snake, try to at least be able to identify it.

I want to know of what use are snakes to the ecosystem? I suppose one could argue they control the population of rodents.

What else is their purpose? For instance, a Python eats large animals such as goats, chicken, etc. How important is that to the ecosystem?
