The Serpentes duality?

Hello old friend!

I don't think so, since venom is used to immobilize prey and being poisonous is used to keep from being prey. Venomous snakes have plenty of defense in their venom, it would seem that being poisonous also would be rather redundant.

No. As far as I know. Most if not all snake venom can be drank and if a healthy individual does it, will suffer no ill effects of poisoning from venom. Some amphibians are. There's a number of frogs for instance, one doesn't want in their throat.

Maxed out on monthly down loads to cite specifics.

Amphibian skin is filled with glands of all types, including mucous and poison glands. When an amphibian evolved into the common ancestor of amniotes, the skin glands disappeared because the body is now covered by scales to waterproof it. Therefore no reptile has any skin glands and none of them has any poison glands. The closest thing to a poison gland would probably be the anal gland, which produces a foul smelling musk, which is in turn smeared on the predator by thrashing the tail about, when a snake is touched.

I don't think there is such a thing

as a poisonous snake.

Rattlesnake meat is pretty tasty

if a bit difficult to maneuver.

It's kinda like eating a big turkey neck..

Never knew they were two different things. Interesting.

I don't think so.
