0%... No snake is "poisonous" there are about 10-15% of snake species that are venomous. I make this point because it's a common misconception, poison can be injected, ingested, inhaled, and absorbed, venom can only enter through an open wound (i.e. bite or cut).

∙ 11y agoOnly twenty percent of all snakes are venomous; and considering that there are over 3000 types of snakes in the world, that's pretty good. Of the twenty percent that are poisonous, only seven percent have the venomous ability to kill a human. So, if you really think about it, it is quite foolish to be afraid on snakes in the USA. (Note: Most deadly snakes inhabit Asia and South America.)

∙ 15y agoI would say about 3% of the worlds snakes but that's a rough guess. No-one knows for sure, but that is quite a big percentage considering there are 3000 species of snake.
