ok....i see....so if the snake bites me...it's venomous and poisonous?


Just because a snake can bite you, does not mean it is venomous. If I bite you, will you get sick? I am not venomous.

However, if a rattlesnake bites you, you will have trouble. That is because it is venomous. If you eat a rattlesnake, you would be fine.

If a poison dart frog "bites" you, you will not get injected with a venom. If you eat the poison dart frog, you will ingest poison, and have trouble.


In conclusion: for all venomous/poisonous animals:

If it bites to inject the toxin, it is venomous.
If it must be ingested for the toxin to work, it is poisonous.
