All venomous reptiles form a single monophyletic clade, despite many non-venomous reptiles being in that clade and them having numerous completely unrelated venoms across the group.Unless it's a ratite situation where they all just coincidentally have a propensity for developing venom and just did it a bunch of times across the clade, it's likely there's been a lot of flipflopping.Also non-zero chance mosasaurs were venomous.
