Looking over my Venom Siphoner Witch, I realized I didn't know which range my Poisonous Poppet Familiar could spit its Siphoner Venom.
For reference:
"Familiars without an appropriate natural attack instead gain the ability to spit the poison as a ranged touch attack. This spit attack deals no damage, but it exposes the struck creature to the poison, forcing it to attempt a saving throw to resist the poison as normal."
That's all AoN has to say... nothing follows on exactly how far this venom can be spit.
The Spit Venom feat allows Nagaji to spit 10' as a ranged touch attack. The Spit Venom spell is 25' +5' per caster level. I can't find anything in universal monster rules or general touch attack rules, but without anything official I am going to go with the spell's range using the Witch's CL.

The spell range seems excessive. I would paragon it to creatures' spit attacks. I have checked a few, and the typical ranges seem to be 30'-40'.
Considering that the cost of the ability is the first level hex and the alertness feature I would give it a 30' range. It is the common range of a lot of hexes and is coherent with the range of a good number spitting attacks.
Using the 30' range of Hexes makes perfect sense. Thank you.
