no, poisonis snakes have red markings to keep animals away

Many animals eat other poisonous animals. A very quick example is the poison dart frog from South America. The frog itself does not produce the poison in it's skin. It accumulates the toxins on its skin by eating a certain variant of ant that is mildly toxic. When it eats hundreds of these ants , it's body contains concentrated amount of the toxin. The toxin does not affect the frog, similarly to the way that honey badgers are virtually immune to snake venom.

On the note of snakes, and the original answer, when snake venom is cooked, the heat renders the venom inactive as it breaks the proteins down. Also the venom only affects you when in your blood stream. Provided you have no cuts in your mouth, and no ulcers in your esophagus and stomach, you could drink snake venom with no negative affects as stomach acids will also break down the proteins in the venom.

I would say no! snake saliva neutralizes its own venom, the action of biting releases venom as well as saliva
