Which consequence results when a snake's venom delivery system fails by blockage?

💡 Explanation

Reduced venom injection efficacy is the outcome because the venom metering mechanism fails to deliver sufficient venom to cause paralysis. Therefore, prey escape may increase, rather than increasing venom flow, total venom production, or strike durations.
