Are snakes immune to their own venom

If a snake would happen to bite its self would it be harmful for the snake? Or could a snake of the same species poison an other snake with its bite?

Some but not all have resistance/immunity. Most fights between the same species involve no biting due to venom being energetically expensive to make and risky to do to others.
