This may be a trick question. If you are asking what snake has the most venom. That is the spitting cobra. It expels its venom in long streams to hit its preys eyes to blind it and then it can bite. If you are asking what is the most poisonous snake. That would be the black mamba snake. Its venom can kill a man in minutes. i would say taipan is the most venomous snake not the black mamba

What is the world's most venomous land snake?
The Inland Taipan, also known as the Fierce Snake, has the most toxic venom of all the world's land snakes. The maximum survival time recorded after a Taipan's bite is not more than one hour. The Taipan has three major sub-species: the Western or Inland Taipan ( Oxyuranus Microlepidotus ) or ( Fierce Snake ) , Papuan Taipan ( Oxyuranus s. canni ) and Common or Coastal Taipan ( Oxyuranus Scutellatus ). The Inland Taipan is much more toxic than Oxyuranus Scutellatus and Oxyuranus S. Canni. The maximum yield recorded (from a single bite of Inland Taipan) is 110mg. Just a few mg of Inland Taipan's venom is enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. Australia's Western or Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake is the world's most toxic venomous snake. (Ranked No.1) (see the related link below) (see the related questions on snakes in general)
How many people can a coastal taipan kill in one bite?
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.
