They have venom and not poison. There are no "poisonous" snakes but there are venomous snakes. A poison must be eaten to do damage while a venom must be injected. The venom is stored in sacs behind the eyes on either side of the head. They are connected by ducts to the fangs at the front of the mouth in the upper jaw.
