A:

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.

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).

What is the most poisones plant?

not too sure but to whet your appetite i would start by saying Bella Donna or Deadly night shade which is the same plant or should I say a herb? it is very poisonous and extracts from it were used to open the pupils of a womans eyes to make them look more "attractive" hence the name "BellaDonna" which is Italian for "beautiful woman" Add On: actaully the most poisoiness plant is the castor bean plant. as little as one berry can kill a full grown adult and there is no antidote for its poison. it contains ricin a type of poison that blocks proteins from the cells wich will kill them and will cause enough damage to kill a human Add on: Castor bean is often incorrectly quoted as the most poisonous plant. The only part of it that is poisonous is the bean but actually the Oleander tree is the most poisonous plant. The whole plant is poisonous and people have been made sick just from breathing the smoke of its burning wood. Check out the link below or a list of the top five most poisonous plants. --the water hemlock is the most poisonous plant native to north America. But the previous post is right... The oleander is native to the far east,but was introduced to north America and thrives even in poor soil and barren conditions..

Are black mamba snakes venomis?

The answer is No. A black headed sea snake is way more poisonous than a black mamba. A black Mamba doesn't even rank in the top ten and a black headed sea snake does. You get bitten by black mambas more often, but that doesn't mean that the sea snake is less poisonous.
