The worlds most poisoness snakes are either the king cobra or the black mamba.
The kings cobra venom is so toxic and effective, if bit, you can die within 7 minutes.
Its venom acts like keys, to fit your recepeptors in your body. these receptors send signals, and if you get bit by a king cobra, the venom enters your blood stream, and acts like a key. fighting all the other receptors, causing your entire body to shut down. all this can happen in a matter of minutes.

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 studies 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, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.
It's habitat is 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 are:
2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).
3- Common Indian Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus).
4- Philippine Cobra (Naja Philippinensis).
5- King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hanna).

The appropriate word to use is "venomous", not "poisonous", because venom refers to a toxin that is injected by the animal, whereas poisonous animals are those who spread their toxin by being ingested or through contact with the skin.
