Even if you can identify a non venomous, it is still important to get immediate medical treatment after a snakebite or attack. Always remember, a snake will never attack a human unless stepped on, or feels alarmed or threatened. Hence, the wise thing is to keep away from them and not put yourself in any danger by trying to handle it. Snakes are as much afraid of us as we are of them, so the feeling is pretty mutual; don't bother them, and they will slink away indifferently.
