Hi! for e.g., a snake venom mixture generally composed of amino acids proteins and peptides. this mixture itself is not harmful to the snake even if the snake ingested its venom, because it just get digested into smaller chemical structure which render it harmless.

snake venom is only harmful if it entered its prey’s bloodstream & tissues. & it can be harmful to the snake itself if it bite into into its own flesh & bloodstream, ejecting together the venom from its fang.
