Non-venomous snakes do have teeth, and as a defense mechanism, will bite a perceived threat. Some non-venomous species will even mimic a rattle noise from quickly whipping its tail back and forth, resembling a rattlesnake. Most non-venomous snakes will aggressively protect themselves to thwart a threat from coming closer. Non-venomous snakes are important to our environment as they do help control rodent populations, and understanding the benefit to having them around is important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Non-Venomous Snakes Of North Carolina North Carolina is home to 34 common species of snakes, and only 4 of those are venomous.
