So people are trying to say that the poison from all venomous snakes has been milked and proven safe to drink. I don't think so.

Sucked in, there was a poisonous snake featured in on of the science/nature journals either last year or earlier this year. Like poison arrow frogs of Sth America it is diet related.
Someone else may have a bit more detail.


ps, lol, just noticed your sig Australis. Nice.

Japanese keelback. Recycles the poison from amphibians they feed on and secretes it from it's skin just behind the head.

For some reason, I feel slightly dumber reading this thread... this argument is so trivial

Agreed, but some people may feel they've learned something.
