The ring neck snake is mildly venomous, but don't worry, it uses the venom to kill frogs, worms, pill bugs, and lizards. The venom though is to mild and delivered in too low a dose to harm a human. Ringneck snakes secrete a foul smelling odor when frightened.
Rear fanged snakes such as boomslangs and vine snakes have venom that destroys blood cells and thins the blood. The early symptoms of a bite from a rear fanged snake include headaches, nausea, diarrhea, lethargy, mental disorientation, bruising and bleeding at the site and from all body openings.
