Are there deadly snakes in Australia?

Answer 1

The Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is considered to be the deadliest land snake. The Banded Sea krait has more potent venom - but spends almost all its life swimming in the oceans.

Answer 2

Snakes are not 'poisonous', but rather, venomous.

The Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is Australia's most venomous snake.

Also known as the Fierce Snake, it has the most toxic venom of all Australian snakes. The highest recorded venom yield is 110mg, enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice.

It is restricted to the northeastern areas of South Australia, where human population is at a minimum.

The most aggressive snake is the Eastern Brown, which is found in abundance in populated areas of eastern Australia. It is highly venomous, and the second deadliest snake in Australia.
