A:

(If bitten and venom is injected)

The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate (LD-5-) studies as of 2010 prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, it's size ranges from 1-1/2 ft (0.5m) to 3 ft (1 m), a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat has a wide range in the South Pacific.

Excluding the Belcher's Sea Snake the next most venomous snakes on earth according to their venom rating(LD-50) are:

2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).

3- Common Indian Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus).

4- Philippine Cobra (Naja Philippinensis).

5- King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hanna).

6- Russell's Viper (Vipera Russellii).

7- Black Mamba (Dendroaspis Polylepis).

8- Yellow Jawed Tommygoff (Bothrops Asper).

9- Multibanded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus).

10- Tiger Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

Other deadly snakes (by toxicity or injected dosage) :

Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis)

Common Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus)

Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus)

Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus)

Answer 3

Firstly snakes are venomous not poisonous, there is a huge difference between the two. There are 100's if not 1000's of different species and sub-species of venomous snakes. Too name a few: rattle snake, cobra, green and black mamba (black one is a beautiful looking snakes and extremely dangerous), a puff adder, gaboon viper, a inland taipan (the most venomous land snake, native to Australia) etc. Your best bet is to Google venomous snakes and you'll see there are thousands of different sub species of venomous snake

Answer 4

The 3 step snake named the Hyappodan snake and the bushmaster snake, have the strongest poison than the rest of the others species of snakes. The name 3 step is not quite real. It take 100 steps to die from a Hyappodan snake.


An update on the question. The Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan, Australia, is the most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. This one has to come first than the two I mentioned above.

Answer 5

In the United States, probably a copperhead. there is no specific anti-venin that can counter the toxic poison and it acts faster than the rattlers. Copperheads stand out, Red, Yellow, Black. small, but deadly snakes.

Answer 6

they can be classified as snakes which kill by biting and giving poison and snakes which kill by constricting

Answer 7

Several thousand species. Most snakes are non-venomous.

Answer 8

9 of the 10 most poisonous snakes in the world live in Austrilia and they all come out at night.
