The largest poisonous snake would be the King Cobra(Ophiophagus hanna), the Latinword Ophiophagus means "Snake-eater".The king cobras average size is 13-14 ft.

(18.1436kgs.) and lives in the Rainforest's and grasslands of Southeast Asia, India and China. Color is generally tan, olive-green or black with faint pale yellow cross bands, the females lay around 50 eggs, the king cobras are the only snakes who construct a nest for their hatchlings which they incubate and protect until they emerge in 60 to 80 days, the young are called Hatchlings and about 1.5 ft. (50cm ) long at birth, the King cobra is very fast and agile with an average lifespan of about 20 years.
Although not the most toxic of poisonous snakes a king cobra can kill an elephant with one bite, the king cobra tracks by site and smell then kills it's prey by striking and injecting it with venom and swallowing it whole, it's preferred diet is mainly other venomous and non-venomous snakes but includes small reptiles, birds and amphibians as well. King Cobras are aggressive and will rear up to confront the intruder where most other cobras will slither away and hide. The only predators are the mongoose and man.
Because it gets bigger
King cobra's grow to a length of around 18 feet (5.5 metres)
so they can grow
18 feet
During certain seasons the cobra will molt and change a new skin. Thats all!
The average weight of a KIng Cobra is 13 pounds but they can grow as heavy as 20 pounds.

they can live up to 20 years grow up to 13ft up to 20 lb
My opinion is King Cobra will win... Python on average can grow upto 20ft. King cobra on average 15 ft. But before strangling king cobra, python has to survive from the king's bite...It's not easier. Unlike other snakes, King cobra natural habitat is to eat other snakes. So It has a advantage... For proof, see the video in the related link
A king cobra will eat other snakes smaller than it,but there is no recorded case where a king cobra has eaten another king cobra.
