The Inland Taipan is the world's most venomous land snake. It's venom is 200-400 times more powerful than that of rattlesnake venom, and is 50 times more potent than that of cobra venom. The snake delivers enough of its' venom in one bite to kill 250,000 mice or 100 adult humans. The normal amount of venom delievered is 44 mg; the largest recorded dose delivered was 110 mg. With that in mind, it takes a mere 0.03 mg to kill a mouse; such massive venom delivery ensures death to the desired prey. The venom is so toxic that it can kill an adult human within 45 minutes! It should be noted that there have been no recorded deaths in humans from an Inland Taipan bite. This snake is also known as the Fierce Snake, and inhabits the lands of Australia.
In direct answer to the question, the snake can actually only eat one mouse at a time; no snake can consume more than one prey item per time, never trying to swallow two mice at once. But, eating one meal at a time doesn't mean that the bite it delivered to the mouse it consumes couldn't have easily killed all the mice in the dead mice's family as well since again, 250,000 mice could die from the venom delivered by one bite from the snake.

∙ 13y agoThe exact number of people a single bite could kill is unknown, as is the actual toxicity to humans. Apparently, the coastal taipan is considered the third most venemous land dwelling snake in the world, and produces both hemotoxins and neurotoxins. Before the invention of antivenin, everyone bitten by a coastal taipan died. Bite victims today must receive anitvenin immediately, and even then require potentially weeks of intensive care to survive.
