If youre looking for a pet it all depends on what size snake you really want (and also how much room you have for its accomodation). If its a big snake then I would reccomend a burmese python as they are non aggressive and non venomous. If its a small snake you would be best suited to a garter snake. They are small, eat small creatures (I used to feed mine on defrosted fish!) and they also love to swim (mine used to slither into the backyard pool!).

Actually very few snakes are venomous. Of the thousands of species only a handful have poison glands. The best example is probably the constrictors and pythons that kill by crushing their prey instead of using poisons.

The corn and grass snakes-water snakes are the most poisonous, the more colourful the more venomous, snakes hear through vibrations in the ground, so if you happen to see one and it is not coming directly towards you then stand still, and hopefully it wouldnt hear you because most of them have poor sight-so stay still and pray you have nothing pungent or strong smelling on you and are not in an enclosed space or facing a particularily keen sighted species of snake-either that or you're dead
