What is the most venamous snake in the world?

Answer 1

No do not retard my answer is correct the king cobra (ophiophagus Hannah) is far less toxic than D.polyleps, although due to size it has more toxin.

My origninal answer is this and i ask that you leave it since you obviously know nothing on the subject. I have worked with D.polylepis and O.Hannah so need to know this information for my and my collegues safety.

>>>original answer>>>

No snake is poisonous, they are Venomous, which means their toxin is Injected rather than ingested.

The black mamba is not the most venomous snake By LD50(the most common method of mesuring potancy) count either, the Inland Taipan Oxyuranus microlepidotus is regarded as the most toxic, although due to human population and aggression the Black Mamba (dendroaspis polylepis) Kills more people each year. Infact no deaths have been attributed to O.microlepidotus since records began

I believe the taipan is on drop for drop of venom the dealiest snake in the world. It is only found in Australia.

Allow me to throw in two cents worth, according to the most recent (2010) LD50 conclusions, the most poisonous snakes are as follows:

A:

(If bitten and venom is injected)

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 has 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).
