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.

Hate to tell you… Copperheads aren’t poisonous. Neither are timber rattles or any snake for that matter… They’re venomous… Terminology is very important. Poisonous snake would be if you lick the snake you die. But a venomous snakes bites you, you die.
