Harmless but fantastically cool. They also have a tendancy to musk. I used to catch these all the.time as a.kid. They love to make themselves look like big tough guys by flattening their head ( to make them look like a venemous snake) and puffing up. Some will even "rattle" their tail, though Ive seen corns practice this.more. Common snakes but definitely neat ones. They are known for eating fish and not getting.too big.
