How many poisonous snakes are there in the world?
Technically there are none. There is no such thing as a "poisonous" snake. They are venomous, not poisonous. Poison has to be ingested, while venom has to be injected. However, of the approximately 2400 species of snakes in the world, around 600 are classified as "venomous". The bites from some would not affect a human seriously, while others are potentially fatal. Edit- Actually, the previous comment about poisonous snakes is incorrect, so far there are at least 4 recognized species of POISONOUS snake, including, Rhabdophis tigrinus, Thamnophis atratus, Thamnophis couchii, Thamnophis sirtalis. Most of which aquire their poison from things they eat such as poisonous frogs and keep the venom in glands on their necks.

The longest venomous snake in the world is the King Cobra, with one specimen reaching over 18.5 feet long. Several other venomous snakes - such as the bushmaster, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, or gaboon viper - may reach a greater weight than the king cobra even though they are much shorter. The appropriate word to use is "venomous", not "poisonous", because venom refers to a toxin that is injected by the animal, whereas poisonous animals are those who spread their toxin by being ingested or through contact with the skin.
