So here's the deal. So in the page where it is said that any snake dumb enough to bite him dies, we see one such snake.:
I believe Shrek should get a possible Resistance to Poison Manipulation from this. I'm saying this because, well, look at how the snake is drawn. Notice the location of the fangs and how they're pointed out. Now, look at the skulls of snake and compare it to the head of the snake there.:
Judging by the picture, the snake appears to be a viper. The thing about vipers is they're always venomous. Vipers usually have a proteolytic venoms, although some may have neurotoxins in them.
Now why did I say "possible" instead of just waving it off as legit? See, here's the thing. Notice the text "With just a look, he cowed the reptiles in the swamp." See, intimidated snakes usually either flee or get defensive. When defensive, snakes typically prefer to use dry bites as they'd rather save their venom for hunting prey, although they may inject venom, hence why we have a fatality rate in the tens of thousands every year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_snakebites
Yet regardless as to whether Shrek got envenomated or not, he's completely fine as shown in the drawing. If anything who doesn't resist snake venom gets bitten, the bite would be swollen at best and necrotized at worst.
So yeah, there's the case for Poison Resistance for Shrek.
