You’re correct. Nope, don’t mess with nonvenomous snakes, for their sake.*
And really don’t mess with venomous snakes, for your sake.
*Except if you’re in the Everglades and you’re absolutely sure it’s an invasive Burmese python and not one of the native species the pythons have been eating to extinction. Then you should kill it quickly. But don’t eat it, they contain a lot of mercury.
If you interacted with a smooth green snake - aka “grass snake” - (they’re tiny) and checked out their color in the sun (it’s gorgeous) - they’d maybe be less nope ropes and more dinky slinky…
But yes, the “danger noodles” are the venemous ones…
They’re memes, but they do still have meaning. Being fake-serious about the classifications used to be part of the joke, but that was about three social media platforms and ten years ago for me so maybe that part got lost.

All the guesses are either Gopher Snake or Garter Snake, so probably not a danger noodle. Just a nope rope.
All snakes are danger noodles, except for cat snakes (which is a different kind of nope rope)
My understanding was that all snakes are nope ropes, but only venomous ones are danger noodles. Is it the other way around?

Idk, lemme ask the I Can Haz Cheeseburger cat
Excellent, straight to the highest possible authority.
I tried going for a senior expert so I asked CATS instead, but he just told me that I had no chance to survive and to make my time.

Sorry, I didn’t realize animal meme-ing was taken this seriously and one can be wrong. Now that I know it’s possible, I probably am
