Of course it would hurt when the fangs went in, but if you mean would you either die or get sick, that happens only with poisonous snakes. If this is a common black snake that is non poisonous, then it will hurt when bitten, and will need time for that bite to heal, but you won't have poison in your veins from it. If poisonous, seek help immediately.

Um, a bit vague, I think. If it bites you, it'll probably hurt. Depending on the size of the snake, it could feel like a simple pinch, or it could be much worse. But, um, I'd have to know more than just a black snake. What type of snake is it?

'A black snake' does not give enough information. If it is not poisonous, don't fear too much, but get it cleaned. If it is poisonous, well.. head to the doctor right away and call animal control. Depending on where you live, that 'black snake' could be anywhere from a Racer to a cottonmouth.

Any bite will hurt, but he doesn't have any venom. Just wash the wound and put on a little antibiotic ointment and that should be all you need. Just make sure it's a only a black snake!

There are many types of snakes that are black. Some will hurt you, some won't. It's hard to answer this question because I don't know what type it is. If it has fangs thats bad... if there are rows of small teeth then its O.K., at least in North America.

If it's the common black (rat) snake, it's not posionous. It'll probably break the skin but that's about it.
Generally the blacksnakes run away from people, so they're not likely to bite anyway.

that is hard to tell- there's various snakes that are black. But as somebody already mentioned, if it's a black mamba- see you in the afterlife.
