Poisonous Snake
I thought snakes were only venomous not poisonous.
Oversight or are there poisonous snakes?
Even so how could it be poisonous only if it bites you?
Regardless I love this movie.

In answer to your question, technically snakes are venomous and not poisonous. The difference being that a venomous creature injects poison into the victim; through a sting, bite or whatever.
A poisonous creature's flesh is poisonous so if you eat it, you are poisoned.
However, that is only technically. In everyday language we don't generally differentiate between the terms.
