Most snakes are nonvenomous and not aggressive unless threatened.
Nonpoisonous snakes have round heads and round eyes.
Nonpoisonous bites should be washed with warm soapy water, and a tetanus shot may be needed. If bitten, call Carolinas Poison Center for advice. If bitten, stay calm. Try to identify the snake by sight only looking for color, markings and the identifying triangular shaped head. Always call the Carolinas Poison Center for advice before performing any first aid procedures.
