Most venomous snakes will be heavier bodied than that of a non venomous snake, and all venomous snakes will have a elliptical &#8220;vertical&#8221; eye pupil rather than a rounded of a non-venomous species. Lucky for us, venomous snakes are not good a climbing with a heavier body. However non-venomous snakes are excellent climbers with the ability to climb flat rigid surfaces.
