I've heard of this also. True story: Pigs aren't IMMUNE to poison. You may be thinking of snake venom. It's all about size. If the pig is bitten, the venom won't be fatal because it is sreading over a larger body mass. But, this is not to say that the pig won't be very, very, very sick.

No, I watched a TV show where they milked the snake to get its venom. The venom is used to make antivenom, which is used to help people who are bitten. The snakes were not harmed by the process. The snake will regenerate more venom later, but it will not be able to eat in the meantime as its means of catching prey have been removed.

When the mongoose eats and kills the snake, it knows to stay away from it's head, (Where the venom sack's are), and eat the rest of the body where none of the venom is. If the mongoose is bitten by the snake though, the snake will inject the venom through it's fangs, from the venom sacks, thus killing the mongoose.

What are the relatives of the inland taipan?
They are eaten by the Mulga Snake (Pseudechis Australis), also known as the King Brown, which is actually a species of Black Snake. They are immune to most Australian snake venom, and are the second largest venomous snake after the Coastal Taipan. The Perentie Goanna is Australia's' largest monitor lizard which actively hunts venomous snakes such as the Inland Taipan and King Brown, amongst others. It is also immune, or partially immune to most venom, but some venom may temporary immobilize it, or slow it down.
