Mother Nature in all her wiseness created colorfull animals to indicate “Hey! I´m venemous!” but fluffys in all their innocence and stupidity answered “Hi, Wenemows! Yow´re pwetty nummie!”

Technically you meant to say poisonous, not venomous. Its an easy mix-up to make tho. Venom just means they inject poison directly into prey whereas poison is just injested or absorbed. Fun fact there are animals that are both venomous and poisonous. E.g. the Red-Necked Keelback. They are venomous because they possess rear-fanged venom that can cause serious envenomation, and they are poisonous because they store toxic chemicals from toads they eat in glands in their neck.

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I never questioned the possibility that something could be both venomous and poisonous before, or the fact that this snake decided it wasn’t deadly and made itself as such.

Thanks for the nature class. Always had that problem to understand the difference between both words, especially because in my language poisonous and venemous are written as the same.

No problem, yeah the language mistranslation on top of it being a common mix-up between the terms is very easy to make. Its like how sometimes people call spiders as insects or just group em all together when in actuality insects only have 6 legs e.g. grasshoppers, ants, bees, etc whilst spiders are arachnids with 8 legs and others include scorpions and ticks. Sorry if im rambling

Wanna hear something stranger? Invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles arent the only animals that can be venomous or poisonous.
Theres the short-tailed shrew, they have venomous saliva. This venom is delivered through grooves in their teeth, not fangs, and is used to paralyze prey.
Also technically speaking a Common Vampire Bat is considered venomous. Their venom is just their saliva which primarily is just an anticoagulant, disrupting blood clotting and allowing for easier blood flow during feeding. But even tho its not fatal to a person or animal, the bats are known to transmit rabies.
So a fluffy in this context might die from bleeding out in their sleep due to the saliva numbs the bite wound OR due from rabies or causes a rabies pandemic in a herd.
Also even birds can be poisonous too. For example the Hooded Pitohui carries a neurotoxin called batrachotoxin in its skin and feathers which is very similar to dart frogs in a way due to being extracted from the beetles they eat. The poison in their skin and feathers can cause symptoms of itching, burning, watery eyes, and numbness. This toxin can cause paralysis and even death when contacted in large quantities…its like mixing fiberglass with a dart frog poison so to speak. So a duscarded pretty feather from this bird can be a toxic trinket for any fluffy that finds it.
And theres alot more toxic animaks i can talk about lol but didn’t want to ramble longer in case I made the message too long

Yeah! I mean, if you don´t know to much about biology you can easily mistake an insect with an arachnid. But sometimes the language can be really confusing especially when you try to translate.
Venemous and poisonous are easily to differenciate in english because of the meaning but venemous in spanish is written like “venenoso/a” and poisonous like “venenoso/a”. Of course in english, the words describes it how it works but in spanish is evidently confusing.

I remember the Pitohui. If I´m not wrong, it lives in the Amazon Rainforest and certain tribe hunts them and manipulate theme carfully tu extract the poison in their feather to use it in darts to hunt monkeys.

I can only speak for English but the way to remember is:
If you bite the thing and you die, it was poison.
If the thing bites you and you die, it was venom.
