"How do I pick up a non-venomous snake?" is a very common question. WSED moderator Ryan demonstrates how easy it is with this small Ratsnake (Pantherophis sp.). The second question inevitably is "Will it bite me?". The answer is maybe, but always go in expecting a bite. If you aren't ready to take a bite, you aren't ready to pick up a wild snake. The bite from a ratsnake this size will sting a little but is not dangerous in any way.
