9. How can you tell a poisonous snake?

Your answer: Question9A Question9B Question9C

The correct answer is A and C, maybe.  Poisonous snakes in
Tennessee have diamond shaped heads because of their fangs
and venom sacs.  These snakes are vipers:  the rattlesnake,
copperhead and water moccasin.  A snake with red, black and
yellow rings could be a poisonous Eastern Coral Snake Micrurus fulvius. 
It is not a viper and does not have a diamond shaped head.  It is
actually a distant cousin of the cobra.  Here is an easy rhyme to
help you tell the difference between the poisonous Coral Snake
and two similar beneficial snakes: 'If red touches yellow, it can
 kill a fellow' (coral snake).  'If red touches black, it is a friend
of Jack' (scarlet kingsnake or scarlet snake).
