And?
So your kid says “ouch” then moves on with their life. Not even remotely as painful as a bee sting. Kids need to toughen up these days.
And you’d really have to corner that thing to get bitten - they just want to get away.

Definitely a diamond back water snake. Non venomous. Harmless

There are no bad snakes.
Just bad snake owners.

I hate how the water snake and rate snake almost automatically look poisonous.
Also one of the most poisonous snakes the coral snake doesn't look poisonous. But I've never seen a coral snake in the wild and I've spend a lot of time in the woods.

I’ve never seen a Coral snake either. I’ve seen the rest and a bunch of other non venomous snakes.

The best way to properly identify a potentially poisonous snake is to pick it up and touch his nose.
If you end up in the hospital, it’s bc it’s poisonous.

I am going to be "that guy" on this. They are not poisonous. They are venomous. Generally speaking, poison is consumed and venom is injected.

“Poisonous” snake will only hurt you if you eat it. It “poisons” you if you consume its flesh. “Venomous” snake bites and in so doing, injects “venom” into that which it bites. So many (too many) people don’t know and under stand the correct terminology.
