I believe the answer is:

venom

'snake poison' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for venom that I've seen before include "Poisonous liquid of snakes" , "bitterness" , "Poison; malice" , "Virulence" , "Bitter malice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, the Newsday and the Evening Standard.
