There is no means by which thes-

the fangs.
As to the harmless snakes, so far
as the eastern United States is con
cerned, all the kinds with lengthwise
stripes or in which the pattern is solid
neither striped nor spotted, and also
all those with perfectly smooth scales
unless they are ringed with red, yel
low and black, are harmless. These
include the black snake, coach-whip,
king snakes, garter snakes, ground
snakes and many others. On the oth.
er hand, snakes with rough scales
and a spotted or cross-banded pattern
should b avoided, as all rattlesnakes
and moccasins come within this de
scription, and also snakes cross-banded
or ringed with red, black, and yel
