Venoms come from reptiles such as snakes, fishes, amphibians, insects and spiders, starfish and sea urchins, sea anemones, jellyfish and corals. Venoms are secreted in venom glands and delivered through spurs, stingers, fangs or spines. Their purpose includes killing and digesting prey, or self-defense.

Snakes and spiders carry venom in specialized glands located near their mouths. The venom is released through a bite or sting, and its function is to immobilize or kill their prey. Venom also serves as a defense mechanism for the snake or spider, allowing them to protect themselves from predators. Some species of snakes and spiders also use their venom for mating rituals.
