Things that are striped and poisonous

Bold stripes often warn predators off. Strictly, a poisonous animal is harmful to eat or touch and a venomous one bites or stings; both kinds are here, labelled.

This pair comes from a past Overlaple puzzle: Wednesday, 7 October 2026, where “Striped” and “Poisonous” met in one square. That page lists the best answers players gave.

Jev, the AI judge that scores Overlaple, says whether it fits both.
