It doesn't depend on knowing the type of snake though.
Every hospital I've ever heard of have detection kits that can tell them exactly what anti-venom you need without needing to get closer to the snake that bit you.
You can bring the snake in, but that's just going to delay your care as a bunch of untrained doctors and nurses try to figure out what to do with a venomous snake in their emergency room.
There's less than 5 snake bite deaths a year, and most of those are due to delayed care, none are due to "didn't know the snake"
