Verified answer

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 studies 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, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat is 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 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- Tigar Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

The fierce snake (inland taipan) is the most venomous land snake, which is 50 times more venomous than the king cobra. The tiger snake, black mamba, taipan and kraits are also very venomous. The tiger snake eats almost anything and the black mamba can reach up to a speed of 12 km/h.
The inland Taipan is considered the most venemous snake based on LD50, however there have never been any confirmed human deaths by inland Taipan bites. Any of the Big Four Indian species are concidered far more deadly because of their proximity to population centers and the snakes' aggressive behaivor when threatened. So, the king cobra, common krait, Russell's viper, or saw-scaled viper can easily take the title.

There are several candidates for "most poisonous snake" based on the lethality of their venom (as some snakes kill by crushing, this would not include those species). The actual threat posed by such a snake would depend on its aggressiveness and how much venom is injected, in one or several bites.

The most venomous snakes on earth according to their venom rating are:

  1. Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri)
  2. Inland Taipan (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. Multi-banded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus)
  10. Eastern 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)
  • Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold its breath up to 8 hours. About 1.5 milligrams of venom can be fatal to a human. Its habitat has a wide range in the South Pacific.

Drop for drop, the inland taipan of Australia is the most venomous snake in the world, though it is not the most dangerous, because of its temper and the fact that it does not release as much poison.

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 studies prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

In 1986 a species of snake was discovered in the western Karakoram range that had killed several men. The locals did not recognise the variety so scientist captured a specimen. The snake was tested and found to release 16,000 poison unit per kilo. The snake was later named as my penis.

According to several sources, the Inland Taipan found in Australia is the world's most venomous snake. A single bite has enough venom to kill dozens of humans, if it could be distributed evenly. Luckily, it tends to be a shy snake, and there have been no documented deaths from Inland Taipan bites.

The King Cobra deserves honorable mention for being the world's largest significantly poisonous snake, mostly because it delivers much more venom than any other poisonous snake and can therefore kill a human very quickly if medical attention is unavailable.
