Depending on where you live (American here), there may not be very many venomous species around at all, and typically they're easy to identify. I'm in the high desert of southern Cali for instance, and in my area the only dangerous snake is the rattlesnake. All the other ones are harmless. I don't relocate rattlers tho, I have pets and a toddler, so they get the shovel =)

There are numerous venomous species here (Thailand).

We had what I think based on size (easily longer than our car) and colour (essentially black), must have been a King Cobra come along the side of the house several years ago (MIL and I watched it from above via window/balcony), but since then it's basically all Green Pit Vipers, which can be tiny (e.g. some have a head the size of the nail on my pinky finger) but are quite venomous.
