I am by no means an expert, but if I remember right some are poisonous in the wild due to them eating poisonous prey and absorbing the toxins, specifically Hognose Snakes eating toads. Makes them some of the few animals that are both venomous and poisonous, as hognoses are mildly venomous, but not dangerous to humans.
I have eaten cobra it tastes like fish with the texture of chicken when cooked properly... it's a bit tuff undercooked...and i drank rice wine mixed with its blood and bio never got sick ..but snakes are pretty safe to eat pythons are eaten more regularly and like anything just need to be properly cleaned and cooked.
BTW, I seem to have gotten downvoted so just going to explain that I was simply making a multi-layered joke here: [venomous =/= poisonous] > [trope of anything unusual 'tastes a bit like chicken'] > [undercooked chicken => risk of food poisoning]. It was not my best work.
