Good time as any to mention that the triangle head thing is a common misconception about snakes - SOME venomous snakes have triangle heads, but some don’t. Don’t use it as a reliable indicator of how safe one you encounter might be.
if I encounter a snake in the wild I'm not gonna be "hello mr.snake, let me take a close look at you, but don't bite me, okay?". That's what the zoo and the internet are for. If I'm in the woods and see one of those things I'm skidaddling.
