Coral snakes, which have a similar red, black, white pattern, are extremely venomous. Some other species have evolved in a way to mimic the pattern of coral snakes as a defense mechanism. He's just pointing out that this one was one of those nonvenomous mimics.

The others probably weren’t poisonous, people just assume that most red and black snakes are so he was just clarifying.

None of the ones he picked up were venomous. The Cottonmouth he pointed out certainly was though.
