Most snake venoms need to get directly into the bloodstream to work. Snakes keep their venom in an isolated sac. If they get any into their mouths, it is swallowed and digested to harmless substances, so the toxin doesn't get into the bloodstream. It is also thought that, to some extent, snakes have natural antivenom in their systems.
