[00:00:09]One day, it could save a life.

[00:00:11]First, the eyes.

[00:00:13]Many venomous snakes have sharp slit-shaped pupils like a cat. Most harmless snakes have round pupils.

[00:00:19]But don't trust only that because cobras can also have round eyes.

[00:00:23]Second, the head.

[00:00:25]Venomous snakes like vipers usually have a thick triangle-shaped head because venom glands sit here.

[00:00:32]But some harmless snakes fake this shape to scare predators.

[00:00:35]Third, heat pits.

[00:00:37]Some venomous snakes have tiny holes between the eyes and nose that can sense body heat even in darkness.

[00:00:43]Fourth, behavior.

[00:00:45]Cobras spread hoods.

[00:00:47]Rattlesnakes shake rattles.

[00:00:49]And some deadly snakes stay completely still before striking.

[00:00:53]That's why snake catchers never rely on just one sign.

[00:00:56]They observe everything first.
