There really is very seldom a need to actually lay hands on a venomous snake. "Wrangling" is best done with the use of the appropriate tools..hooks , tongs, & bagsticks. As far as identification goes, you ought to buy a decent field guide to reptiles & amphibians that covers the area you live in. That would be a start. There are several other books other than field guides that would prove educational in this regard. Back to snake identification for a second..If you see a snake & are not sure what kind it is, & if there is any possibility that it is a venomous species, don't mess with it.
