Actually, Black Racers (Coluber constrictor) are very beneficial snakes. They will eat other snakes, small rodents, lizards, frogs and toads, and other animals. BTW--the term "poisonous" should not be applied to North American snakes--they are venomous, not poisonous, because they inject venom. Certain toads and frogs secrete poisons through their skin or through large glands on the sides of their heads. A toad can be poisonous to a dog. In Central America, the secretions from Poison-Arrow (or Poison-Dart) frogs are used to tip arrows used for combat.

Not afraid of snakes and that is a harmless one, but if I reached in my golf bag or it was sitting anywhere on the cart, I'm sure I would probably say a few colorful words!

Personally, until proven otherwise, all snakes are presumed to be poisonous or deadly. (If only in the sense that running upon one in a golf cart might send this 67 year old into cardiac arrest!!!)

And a “fat black” snake most certainly can fit the profile of a “Water-moccasin”.

It's a super harmless black snake. We have them all over in South Carolina. Had one on the roof of my 2 story house a few years ago. Had to go up there to get it as I knew if it climbed in through an exhaust vent my wife would never set foot in the house again.

Was clearing some brush at my place when one literally zoomed over my boot.

Spooked me, but knew he was as harmless as he was aptly named.
