Is creature with Poison special rule immune to its own poison?

[DarkPhoenixx]

I can swear i saw something like "cretature immune to its own poison", but now cant find it. Maybe i saw it in breath weapon...

It's not a general rule, no, but some individual entries may say that.

That was true in 3.5... and as a general rule its true in real life. But your right that doesn't appear to be present in Pathfinder. In fantasy fiction however creatures often aren't immune to their own venom as the hero getting the creature to bite it self is a cliche

It's not a general rule and doesn't reflect real-life venomous creatures.

Scorpions aren't immune to their own venom, I think snakes are immune to all types of snake venom

Not according to wikipedia, anyway.

A King Cobra would be immune to the venom of another King Cobra but not a rattlesnake.

It appears to not be so straightforward. According to Wikipedia and other articles, it appears as though snakes are immune to venoms made up of the same toxic principles as those carried by the other snake. The article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_venom quotes the non-poisonous grass snake as being immune to the poison of the adder and the asp.
