more deadly than you Thankfully, there are few cases of fatal rattlesnake bites.However, the rattlesnake posesses one of the most dangeruos venoms. The neurotoxic venom is a venom that when injected into the human bloodstreamcan be fatal. If the venom is not removed,the body will start to sweat vigourously,dark rings develop around the eyes,the body feels heavy and there can be vomiting.After this process,the body slowly starts shutting down,resulting in eventual death.THE BIG PROBLEM now is it has been found by scientists that the venom of the rattlesnake,king cobra,black mamba and king brown is evolving YES EVOLVING due to climatic changes.This means that soon enough,if bitten by any of the above,the victim will die quicker.It takes on average between 3 to 5 hours after getting bitten, to die.

The most poisonous rattlesnake in the world is the Tiger Rattlesnake then the Mojave Rattlesnake. The five (5) most venomous Rattlesnakes in the WORLD are as follows:

1) Tiger Rattlesnake LD50=0.06 Venom Yield is between 6 to 11 mg's per bite

2) Neo Tropical Rattlesnake LD50=0.17 Venom Yield is between 20 and 100 mg's per bite

3) Mojave Rattlesnake LD50=0.18 Venom Yield is between 50 and 150 mg's per bite 4) Twin Spotted Rattlesnake LD50=0.95 Venom Yield is between 4 and 8 mg's per bite 5) Western Rattlesnake LD50=1.01 Venom Yield is between 35 to 250 mg's per bite

The LD50 test is used to determine toxicity its the amount of venom injected into a field mouse to cause death. The numbers above are in Milligrams. Its important not to confuse MOST POISONOUS with MOST DANGEROUS TO HUMANS. The snakes that are most dangerous to humans factor in the following:

1) Venom streinght 2) Venom Yield 3) Snakes disposition 4) Interaction with Humans

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 studies 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, 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 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- Tigar Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

The Mojave rattlesnake has the most toxic venom, in particular the Mojave rattlesnakes found in southeastern Arizona. This snake has a high neurotoxic component that can quickly paralyze the respiratory system.

The Mojave rattler is the most venomous, but the amount of venom injected by the large eastern diamondback makes it just as deadly.

The Mojave rattlesnake of Arizona are quite venomous as they have a strong neurotoxic component. Mojaves from other areas further east are not quite as deadly.
