Their is many types of pit vipers first their is no such thing as a poisonous snake they are venomous some pit vipers have weak venom like copperhead snakes found in USA. The other Australian copperhead is not a pit viper it is related to cobras and mambas. Other pit vipers such as the eyelash viper found in central and south America have much more deadly venom

Yes, it is safe to eat as the venom is not poisonous. The only problem could be if you have an open cut in your mouth or ulcer that would allow the venom to enter the blood stream.
