5 Interesting Facts About Non-Venomous Snakes!

Britain's most common snake, the grass snake, is completely harmless - it's found throughout England and Wales, often near ponds and compost heaps, and plays dead convincingly when threatened, going limp and emitting a foul smell.
Corn snakes are one of the most popular pet reptiles in the world - native to North America, they're gentle, beautifully patterned and easy to care for, making them the ideal introduction to reptile keeping for children.
The hognose snake has an extraordinary defence - when threatened it flattens its head dramatically (like a cobra), hisses, rolls over and plays dead with its mouth open and tongue lolling. It's completely harmless but thoroughly convincing.
King snakes are immune to the venom of rattlesnakes and other pit vipers - they actively hunt and eat venomous snakes, making them one of the few animals that benefit from sharing habitat with rattlers.
Non-venomous snakes are vital for ecosystem health - they control rodent populations, eating vast numbers of mice and rats. Removing snakes from an ecosystem causes rodent populations to explode within months.
