I am not sure about the tail scales-but if the head of the snake is triangular it means that that particular snake hold venom in his cheeks.

You cannot determine if a snake is poisonous based on its tail scales. The presence of venom glands and fangs are better indicators of a snake's venomous nature. It's safest to assume all snakes are potentially dangerous and to give them space.
no in fact a northern pine snake would rather run away from you then try to bite you it is not poisonous and if u dont no how to tell a poisonous snake from a non poisonous just look at the eyes if the eyes have a round pupil it is non poisonous but if its got a cats pupil it is most deffenetly poisionous and i would sugest to get as far away from t as possible
I recommend making a 'snake noose' if you intend to capture it live. But prepare a home for it, if you intend to keep it. A (dry) aquarium will suffice for that. If you merely want to transport it, a simple burlap bag is sufficient. Be kind, rewind...
Yes, a snake is a reptile. It is not an amphibian because amphibians have smooth, scaleless skin which is how they obtain water, but most importantly snakes use an amniotic sac in both eggs and live birth, while amphibians do not. It is not a mammal because it has no hair nor mammary glands.
The Eastern Hognose snake is known to mimic rattlesnakes by flattening their head, hissing, and even vibrating their tail when threatened. However, they are non-venomous and mostly rely on bluffing to deter predators.
No, a snake is not an insect. Snakes are reptiles, not insects. Reptiles have a different classification from insects and are characterized by traits such as having scales, laying eggs, and being cold-blooded.
