You can’t always say that. But in many ways this is true. Non-toxic snakes have lying heads. Their sheds are small and close to the body. With poison snakes the head is pronounced like an arrow lifted off the rest of the body. They have larger sheds that are not close to the body but are protruding. They also have two toxins and some a children’s Rassle at the tail end. But as I said, you can’t always say that on a flat-rate basis. Trugnatters hardly differ from real natterns. There are also very good imitates! So non-toxic snakes that look exactly like their related poisonous snakes.

For example, the coral otters and the king’s tails. In the two, one can recognize the difference in the coloring alone and not in body construction. The non-toxic one recognizes the bright colors like white or yellow are always separated from red by black. The poisonous variants are always recognized by the red following Hell. So red on white or yellow. So the black is separated from red. A very simple method to distinguish them. In other species that imitate their poisonous relatives, it is not always so easy to distinguish.

I refer to the answer of “PhoenixIR6”,

You can’t say this in a flat-rate manner, but according to which you can really judge yourself roughly, the ratio is from length to circumference, since poison snakes usually don’t have to hold their prey or just a few seconds to a maximum of a few minutes and accordingly do not need such extremely pronounced musculature as sausages, which have to squeeze their prey so strongly that this breast basket can no longer extend and thus suffocate animals…

In the past, I have a pupils that are usually round. Toxic snakes often have a characteristic head shape. So rather triangular to heart-shaped.

Then don’t get caught by a crat or taipan. That would be the last time you left on the outside.

There’s no one there. But all that is longer than an adult king’s cobra is definitely a wort.

Then compare a dog head boa with a king cobra. Nice to have known you.
