I always thought snakes are not necessarily immune to their own poisons, but have sophisticated fang mechanisms that prevent them from biting themselves. But that comes from some elementary school biology class ten(s) of years ago, so don't believe me too hastily...

Maybe, maybe not. But the fact is that snakes use thier own poison to kill thier prety... and then immediately consume it with no ill effect. Thats was the point I was driving at.
