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 (LD-5-) studies as of 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, it's size ranges from 1-1/2 ft (0.5m) to 3 ft (1 m), 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(LD-50) 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- Tiger Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

Other deadly snakes (by toxicity or injected dosage) :

Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis).

Common Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus).

Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus)

Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus)
