Regardless of what kind they are, as long as they don't have a triangular head, indicating they are poisonous, I leave them alone. Given that we have plenty of the poisonous kinds around here, and the fact that the 'black' snakes are really territorial and will kill the others, along with keeping the rodent population under control, I figure it's best to live and let live because they do me a favor just being around and doing what comes natural to them.
A triangular head has nothing at all to do with them being venemous. A venemous snake has a "pit" on its face (pit viper), and its eyes have a "slit" pupil. Not a round pupil like non-venemous snakes. Many snakes will flatten their bodies and heads when threatented but that has nothing to do with them being venemous.
