In the majority, snakes are not poisonous and if you are bitten by one, the largest threat to you is actually infection of the wound and exposure to bacteria that that is prominent in just about every snake's mouth.
If you are bitten by a non poisonous snake, even if the bite seems small, if blood is drawn, treat it as a serious wound because it can develop into something very serious without even having venom be present.
Although this article covers poisonous snakes in Kansas but the description of the various, major venomous snakes is a reliable guide for most of the south and Midwest.
You should, however, check with your state's Fish and Wildlife organization to see what, if any poisonous snakes exist in your state or region.
On the next page, we cover the most common venomous snakes for the region cited above.

Cobra snake, we had in New Smyrna Beach FL.
Incorrect, there is no such thing as a poisonous snake
Soooo much ignorance here
It’s the same as saying we should kill all dogs because you’re too stupid to identify them or because pitbulls have hurt people and killed children, not all snakes are VENOMOUS and it’s very easy to identify different snakes if you’re not retarded
But dogs have also killed people so maybe we should kill all dogs too
Oh Brother, somebody opened the idiot gate.

If these are all venomous, then the top one contradicts the “red and yellow, kill a fellow” rule, doesn’t it? The red and yellow are separated by black.

Thanks, Rick and Michael. You must be either Texas or Louisiana boys.
Yeah. they are all dangerous.
Carry a snake bite kit if you can’t I have been working with snakes for 34 years both poisonous and none. I can tell one from the other but still carry a snake bite kit you just don’t know when you will come across one I have stepped over rattlesnakes with out them rattling so just be safe.
Coral snake has stripes around the snake, rather than patterns, like the top one I think you’re referring to.
Fyi. Snakes are venomous. ..not poisonous. Venom is injected, poison is ingested.
Snakes!?!?!? I feel triggered….
