What are the most deadly snakes in the world?

Answer 1

When considering which snake is the deadliest in the world, you have to consider three factors:

1. Potency of venom

2. Agility

3. Aggression

You can consider a snake like the Inland Taipan (or Fierce Snake) from Australia which has the most lethal venom of all snakes (the venom from one bite is enough to kill 100 people). But if it is not aggressive or agile then you can hardly call it the deadliest snake as it is unlikely to attack you in the first place. Although the inland taipan has the most venomous venom, it is extremely shy and rarely bites people. In fact, no one has died from a inland taipan bite! The king brown or tiger snake of Australia should therefore be considered, as they are highly venomous and extremely aggressive. Also, there is a strain of tiger snake off the coast of South Australia which is considered more dangerous and deadly than the common tiger.

Candidates for Most Venomous

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 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).

Answer 2

The Island Taipan is generally regarded as the most poisonous snake in the world with a known neurotoxin of just a few mg being able to kill up to 250,000 mice or a 100 men.

Again the Island Taipan is generally regarded as the most poisonous snake in the world but there are some herpetologists that believe the Hydrophis Belcheri Sea Snake is the most poisonous snake in the world. With this debate still in question it is no doubt that the Hydrophis Belcheri Sea Snake is the most poisonous sea snake and the Island Taipan (Fierce Snake) the most poisnous land snake in the world.

The Indian Krait is regarded as the 3rd most poisonous snake by many experts but again none of these rankings are absolutely set in stone because the way snakes toxicity are ranked varies by herpetologist and other scientists.

The Krait snake is 15 times more poisonous then the common Cobra and is the most poisonous snake in India.

Other poisonous snakes seem to be more in question as far as how toxic they are. Every ranking you search for will have a different snake as the number 2 through 10 and the criteria for how poisonous one particular snake is over another seems to not be uniformed.
