I don't actually "know" but my observations of the snakes I've seen at work, is that the non poisonous ones seem to be more aggressive, or at least, less likely to run. The poisonous ones try to fade away.
Watching a strangler get a fast moving target is freaky. Happens so fast. The snake gives itself altitude, rears back, keeps its eye on the target, waits for the target to move, and BAM, almost half the snake's length away its bit the target's neck, then the rest of the snake follows and wraps around its victim. Its game over as the victim is crushed/strangled.
I'm glad there aren't snakes big enough to eat me around here running wild...I'm not sure one that big would have the same speed, but the strength has to be incredible. It gets you, game over.
