It depends on which species of snake you mean. Some snake venom attacks the prey's blood, preventing it from clotting (the victim bleeds to death internally) - other venom attacks the nervous system, shutting down the victim's breathing reflex (the victim suffocates) - another property is necrosis - where the venom destroys body tissue (vital body functions simply collapse). Snake venom can possess just one, or all three properties - depending on the species !
