Abstract: Snake venom is a highly toxic saliva, which help to immobilise and consume prey. Although certain species of snake can also spit venom, most snake species inject poison during a bite with their distinctive fangs. The glands responsible for secreting zootoxins are a variation of the parotid salivary glands seen in other vertebrates. Typ- ically, they are situated on both sides of the head, beneath and behind the eyes, and are covered in a muscular sheath.
