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).

A Scarlet King Snake can be extremely deadly to smaller snakes be they poisonous or non-poisonous. Since King Snakes in general are immune to the toxin of poisonous varieties of snakes, they generally consume most other snakes in their immediate vicinity thus acquiring the moniker "King of Snakes". A Scarlet King can also be deadly to small mammals such as mice or squirrel, chipmunk and shrew are also on their menu. Scarlet Kings are not deadly toward humans, with their ability to consume animals carrying diseases that can be deadly to humans, they are beneficial allies to us.
