首先，你地認為一條king cobra系poisonous定venomous?
我發現好多人都分不清poisonous和venomous,所以系到分享一下。(用英文會方便d)
venomous：
venomous animals inject venom into another creature through fangs,sting.The venom is produced by a gland.Venomous animal will inject venom to their prey or to defense.
poisonous:
poisonous animal does not inject venom into another creature.Part or the entire body of that animal contain poisonous substance.when we touch or eat it,it maybe harmful.These poisonous substance may cause vomiting or blistering .These help them to defense their predators,

Therefore, a king cobra is a venomous snake but not a poisonous snake.

The problem is that most of the breeder in Hong Kong don't even know there are different between these two words .There is no one that use "poisonous" for any venomous snake in other foreign forum .

This is the problem of Chinese translation
Both terms are translated as 「有毒的」

作為一為專業的爬蟲類飼養者，
是沒有理由用錯字的。
