The Top 10 Most Venomous Land Snakes all live downunder in Australia, and the Most Venomous Snake in the World is .... The Fierce Snake from Australia. To give you some idea of just how venomous it is, it is 50 times more potent than the Indian Cobra Snake.
They are a very fast snake and it venom will kill a small animal like a large rat or mice in seconds.
The potentcy of the venom is measured by a Scale which is called the LD50. LD stands for Lethal Dose, and the 50 represents, "to Kill 50% of the test subjects", in this case, they are mice.
So when all mice are given the full dose at once how much is required to Kill 50% of the Test Mice subjects.
So by using the LD50 Scale, The fierce Snake "aka" Inland Tiapan is the worlds most venomous.
The most amount of venom i have read is approx 100 to 120mg of pure venom. that's alot.
