Venomous creatures are not harmful when eaten; essentially there’s quite a bit of dissimilarity between poison and venom. Poison is administered by ingesting it while venom is injected into the bloodstream with a sting or bite.
Venom basically contains proteins and enzymes, and it’s only dangerous when bitten and injected directly into the bloodstream but it’s not generally harmful when ingested.
A digestive system will simply break the venom down into amino acids much like any other form of proteins. However, an animal with a cut in their mouth or even an ulcer might lead to a very different outcome if an adequate amount of venom gets into the bloodstream.
