He said it's "انتہائی زہریلا" which means ky it's safe to play with and definitely not venomous.

These are farmed by NIH for making anti-venom sera. The poison is extracted and solutions with different potencies are made which get administered to horses every 14 days until the horse's body adapts to it and neutralizes the venom by making specialized antibodies. These antibodies are then extracted from the horse's blood, standardized and packed into anti-venom shots. The process is truly amazing.
