There are many snakes that live in NY. Some include the simple Garden Snakes, Suns snakes, and tree snakes. These snakes are harmless, and some people even have them as pets. However, there are some not so friendly snakes too. The diamondback rattler, the black mamba, the Boa Constrictor family, and even the Hydrophis Belcheri Sea snake in the sewers of NYC. The diamond back rattler is the most venomous snake from the Rattler family, and is capable of killing a 200 Lb. man 6 times over. Every year, about 200 people (mostly hikers & campers) are killed by the diamondback rattlesnake each year in NY. Next is the Black Mamba. This is sometimes regarded as the most venomous land dwelling snake in the world. The venom is so potent, medical help must be seeked within approximately 30 minutes, or else the venom will shut down the brain, stopping all bodily functions, and eventually, killing the person. Fortunately, the black Mamba is rare, and only about three people are killed by it each year. The Boa Constricter family is not native to NY. Up until around 7 years ago, people were able to buy constrictors in pet shops. Kids all over NY bought them because they were cool, and when they grew to their full length, the could not keep them, so they released them into the wild. The Boa population is running strong. Last year, (2010) Boas killed approximately 37 residents in NY. Lastly, is the Hydrophis Belcheri sea snake. The Hydrophis Belcheri lives in the sewers of New York City. They are jot native to these lands either. They originated from Cuba and the Carribbean, and were brought over by Cartels (Drug Lords) to be sold on the Black market. They ran for thousands a piece. As time passed, many of the original buyers were not interested in purchasing Hydrophis Belcheris, so the Cartels began releasing them into the sewers. They mated, and produced an reasonable population, that is thought to have reached a little over 1,000. They feed on the rats that live in the sewer, and occasionally reach the subway. The number of deaths is low from the Hydrophis Belcheri, but it is climbing as overpopulation plagues NYC. Hope this Helps!

What is the more poisonous -- land or sea snake?
This is not an easy answer. Snakes fall under two headings: land snakes & sea snakes. Comparing toxicity, sea snake venom exceeds that of land snakes, for sea snakes must hunt cold-blooded prey (the successful rendering of which requires poison of a higher toxic level than that required for warmblooded prey). Additionally, sea snakes hunt in a dilute medium. Insufficient data exists on the intra-genus toxicity of discrete sea snakes. Generally, snakes employ two types of venoms: Neurotoxins (acting on nerves) and Haematotoxins (acting on blood).Among the neurotoxic land snakes, the Asian Krait is the most poisonous snake of the world, surpassing even the King and Speckled cobras. Cobras cause greater death among people, however, due probably to their greater size and, thus, their higher volume of venom delivery. Among the haematotoxic land snakes, the vipers & pit vipers take the prize for the "most poisonous." A small dose of viper/pit viper venom can produce typical haematotoxic symptoms. A larger dose can kill instantly by stopping the heart. The Gaboon viper combines both neurotoxic and haematotoxic elements in its venom, making it particularly lethal.All told, however, we might justifiably say that the seasnakes are the most poisonous snakes in the world.-- Yes, I agree, for the reason that sea snakes hunt in water and need fast-reacting venom, so their prey won't get away.the fierce or inland taipan of Australia one bite from this snake yields 110mg enough to kill 100 people or 250000 mice 750 times more venomous than a cobra
