It's pretty easy to tell the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes.

Wait how? That sounds useful to know.

Square or angular heads generally mean they're venomous. Rounded heads mean non-venomous.

That doesn't mean non-venomous is safe. They can still bite and could transfer a bacteria. If you don't know for sure, just keep your distance.

I would like to point out the "generaly" here, I still would trust it more as a what is DEFINITLY venomous, not what is safe

The venomous ones are female? /S

I think the point is it is one species of snake that all looks the same yet some are venomous and others are not.

For example. What if some rattle snakes were not venomous but others, that looked exactly the same, were.

The point is is that it's a bad analogy to support a shitty world view.
