I believe the craft DC is the same as their save DC, and that's in the DMG.

From the SRD:
Table: Poisons
Poison Type
Nitharit Contact DC 13
Sassone leaf residue Contact DC 16
Malyss root paste Contact DC 16
Terinav root Contact DC 16
Black lotus extract Contact DC 20
Dragon bile Contact DC 26
Striped toadstool Ingested DC 11
Arsenic Ingested DC 13
Id moss Ingested DC 14
Oil of taggit Ingested DC 15
Lich dust Ingested DC 17
Dark reaver powder Ingested DC 18
Ungol dust Inhaled DC 15
Insanity mist Inhaled DC 15
Burnt othur fumes Inhaled DC 18
Black adder venom Injury DC 11
Small centipede poison Injury DC 11
Bloodroot Injury DC 12
Drow poison Injury DC 13
Greenblood oil Injury DC 13
Blue whinnis Injury DC 14
Medium spider venom Injury DC 14
Shadow essence Injury DC 17
Wyvern poison Injury DC 17
Large scorpion venom Injury DC 18
Giant wasp poison Injury DC 18
Deathblade Injury DC 20
Purple worm poison Injury DC 24
*Permanent drain, not temporary damage.
Alternately, there are DCs listed under Traps:

Black adder venom +1 Large scorpion venom +3
Black lotus extract +8 Malyss root paste +3
Bloodroot +1 Medium spider venom +2
Blue whinnis +1 Nitharit +4
Burnt othur fumes +6 Purple worm poison +4
Deathblade +5 Sassone leaf residue +3
Dragon bile +6 Shadow essence +3
Giant wasp poison +3 Small centipede poison +1
Greenblood oil +1 Terinav root +5
Insanity mist +4 Ungol dust +3
Wyvern poison +5

But those are adds to CR, not DC, you then have to look at the DC table for trapmaking:

Trap CR Base Craft (Trapmaking) DC
1–3 20
4–6 25
7–10 30

So, as you can see, setting the DC for crafting the same as the DC for save is not entirely out of line.
