There are two misconceptions in this question. First, there are no egg-laying marsupials. All marsupials give live birth. Second, there are numerous venomous mammals. Many species of shrew, as well as the Cuban Solenodon, are venomous mammals. The only egg-laying mammal that is venomous is the platypus, which ejects venom through a hollow spur on each ankle.
