Most water snakes are non-venomous. There are no venomous water snakes in China, but some water snakes are venomous, such as the black-spotted water snake, which is a venomous snake with back hook fangs. However, it is not that toxic and the mortality rate is not high. Like the tiger snake, many areas think it is harmless, but it is actually poisonous. Most water snakes, such as Chinese water snakes, lead water snakes, and bell snakes, are nonvenomous. People of different body types should not take it lightly even if it is not poisonous. If you are bitten, you should pay attention to wash your feelings to avoid being infected by germs.

Is this water poisonous?

South American water snakes are venomous.

The more venomous water snake species is the South American water snake, also called the Brazilian water snake, which is a venomous or non-venomous snake with rear fangs. South American water snakes are found throughout South America, especially in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. There may also be some communities in Colombia and French Guiana. The South American water snake has large posterior maxillary teeth, and the secretions of its glands can break down proteins. Not only can these teeth cause damage, they can also lead to surface deterioration and sensitivity. Delaying treatment can cause pain, redness and swelling.
