But venom IS poisonous. So it'd be fair to skip the middleman and call the snake poisonous.

Well my dictionary says...
venom: poisonous fluid secreted by animals such as snakes and scorpions and typically injected into prey or aggressors by biting or stinging.
Origin- from an alteration of latin venenum 'poison'
