person A: I am so scared of snakes there was one in my back yard a few weeks ago.
person B: Oh my goodness_comma_ that is no fun.  Was it poisonous?
person A: When I looked it up on line it was one of the garden snakes but I'm still frightened by them all lol even the harmless ones. 
person B: They can still bite_comma_ so it's better safe than sorry.  My father-in-law just got bitten by a black snake recently-not poisonous-but still painful.
person A: I will stay clear of them all not taking any chances.
