Yeah, the age old advice that any snake with a triangular head or a head significantly bigger than its body in venomous, is almost entirely useless. Not only do many, if not most, non-venomous snakes do what the water snake above does, but anyone who is scared of snakes seems to have a very tough time judging such things.



If you want to be able to recognize venomous snakes, you should look up ad memorize the ones in your area. In Ohio, that should be easy. You only have 3 and two are quite rare.
