The strongest venom (neurotoxic) have the sea snakes (very venomous is the olive sea snake, enhidrina and e.c.), but some land snakes have a very toxic venom as well, like the fierce snake (Australia), black mamba and boomslang (Africa), king kobra (thoutheastern Asia), diamondback snakes or rattle snakes (central America) and many more. here are the venomous snake families:

1.Colubridae (their venom is weak, but genus Dispholidus (boomslang) and Thelotornis (they are living in Africa) venom is very strong (Hemotoxic) and it can soon kill an adult human).

2. aspis or elaphidae - all species in this family are very venomous and their venom is deadly for human. (their venom is heurotoxic)

3. sea snakes or hydrophiidae - The most venomous snakes on earth (but some primitive species' venom is weak)

4. Viperidae or adders - their venom is very strong (the most venomous species are the gaboon adder - bitis gabonica and the puff adder - bitis arietans, also genus echis)

5. Crotalidae - very venomous snake family (the most venomous genus is Crotalus or the rattle snakes, also bothrops)

Well, that's it.

From wes - herpertologist

The most venemous snake in the world is the fierce snake or the inland taipan of southern Australia...it's one drop of venom can kill 100 humans and 25,000 mice...it has venom 50 times more toxic then the king cobra,250 times than that of the bloomslang and 750-850 times than that of the diamond back rattle snake

Belcher's sea snake (Hydrophis belcheri)

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.

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).

Yes there are several types of snake found in France. There are only two venemous snakes which are considered dangerous to some. ( Old young or sick people) These two are of the Adder family. They can be recognised by their vertical slit pupils. the rest are non venemous and have pupils very much like our own. Even non venemuous snakes bite, and it can be very painful. The most important thing is simply not to mess with them. They very often live in wood piles and scrub land, so be careful.
