The world's most poisonous snake is the Black Mamba. It lives in Africa and can inject enough venom in one bite to kill up to 25 men.

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.

Are rattle snakes extinct?

Some populations dwindle, such as the Ridge-nose rattlesnake, the Massasauga, and the Twin-spotted rattlesnake, along with a myriad of other subspecies.

People also need to be less quick to kill a rattlesnake on "their" property.

8.Saw Scaled Viper

7.Philippine Cobra

6.Tiger Snake

5.Black Mamba

3.Blue Krait

2.Eastern Brown Snake

1.Inland Taipan (a sub, species of number 4 but it is the most venomous land snake on earth..The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans)

None, there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Snakes can be venomous but not poisonous. The difference is that poisonous animals usually emit poison from glands in their skin and then someone touches it and gets poisoned. Venomous animals inject venom into someone by biting them with fangs or stabbing them with spikes, like on the lion fish. You can tell when a snake is venomous because the venom gland are on the back of either side of their head. A way to see the difference is to look up a cotton mouth snake, which is venomous, and then look up a black rat snake, a non venomous snake that's, unfortunately, often killed when it is mistaken as a cotton mouth. Look at the heads, it's really easy to see the difference. You could also compare the brown water snake to the cotton mouth, they are non-venomous also but look a lot like the cotton mouth. Venomous snakes heads are more fat and wide looking, really arrow headed. Non-venomous snakes head's are narrower and longer looking.

How to feed a baby scarlet kingsnake?

If it's really small - your best option is to cut a pinkie mouse into pieces and offer it that way. Sounds gross I know - but feed once every three or four days. After two or three sheds, the snake will be big enough to take whole mouse pinkies.

It will eventually be capable of taking large mice or small mice. I have adult corn snakes (in my collection of roughly 400 reptiles) that will eat two young rats in one meal (the rats have bodies around 4-5 long !)

What does it mean if a snake changes skin in your dream?

Do black mambas spit venom?

Black Mamba Venom is the most rapid-acting venom of any snake species. It contains highly potent neurotoxins. It also contains cardiotoxins. Even a 10 to 15mg quantity of venom can be deadly to a human adult. It delivers an average of around 100 to 120 mg of venom and depending on the quantity of venom injected, it can potentially kill a human in less than 20 minutes. If bitten, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular symptons begin within 15 mins or less. Symptions include dizziness, drowsiness, coughing and difficulty to breath. The fatality rate depends on various factors, such as the health, size, age, psychological state of the victim, the penetration of one or both fangs from the snake, amount of venom injected, location of the bite, and proximity to major blood vessels
