That snake is a Banded Krait and not poisonous but venomous.

TIL, 'venom' and 'poison' are not the same thing.

Poison is a toxin that gets into the body via swallowing, inhaling or absorption through the skin.
Venom is a specialised type of poison that has evolved for a specific purpose. It is actively injected via a bite or sting.

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

Austerity programs (cutting library fundings), woodworms, relevance criteria (e.g. doubt that many non-academic folks would keep statistic's books), trash cans...
