It depends on the snake, but most of the REALLY poisonous snakes use a neurotoxic venom. The venom destroys the nerve connections throughout the body which basically cuts the brain off from the other vital organs. Other types of venom cause acute muscle paralysis, eventually leading to the lungs and heart seizing up and causing suffocation.

How does heat speed up decomposition?

Decomposition involves chemical reactions and as a rough approximation, for many chemical reactions happening at around room temperature, the rate of reaction doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. The reason for this is that for chemical reactions to happen, at the smallest scale, the individual chemical molecules have to bump into one another. As molecules warm up they begin to vibrate more and the chances of them bumping in to one another increases - the more bumps that happen, the faster the reactions go.
