hi there... generally snake venom is not dangerous when consumed, that is why it is not considered a poison. A creature(reptile, human, bird etc.) can ingest venom with no harmful effects wether immune or not.
This one incident is not scientific proof I know but I have swallowed snake venom accidentally when dealing with a spitting cobra. Other than the bad bitter taste..no harm done. HEY! but by no means does this mean go tasting venom! I would never intentionally ingest venom.
