The top ten most venomous snakes are searched from around the world are as folllows:

1.Inland taipan (a single bite contains enough venom that could kill 100 humans)

2.Indian krait (probably the 2nd most venomous and 16 times more potent then a cobra)

3.King brown snake (the 2nd largest venemous snake in Australia)

4.Philippine cobra(probably the small in size but highly venemous snake)

5.King cobra ( the longest venomous snake of the world)

6.black mamba (the fastest moving snake in the world and one of the most venomous snake in Africa)

7.Russell's viper(a highly venomous snake from South Asia and responsible for many kills)

8.boomslang (the venomous snake from South Africa is deadly because it not only inject the venom but also chews the prey till death )

9.Tiger snake(the deadly snake from Australia)

10.rinkhals (a spitting cobra from Africa is highly venomous and if the venom enters the eyes it causes temporary blindness allowing the snake to escape).

And updated version as of 2010.

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).

Why are snakes considered evil?

Many people are uneducated and misinformed about snakes due to media exaggeration and bad depiction in literature. Additionally, snakes aren't exactly cute and cuddly and they are predators which automatically makes people think they're evil. If you learned about snakes just by watching TV, it's easy to believe that most snakes are 50 foot long venomous monsters that enjoy killing, but in reality only 10% of snakes are venomous and most would rather be left alone. I would say most media sources make snakes seem "evil" even though there is no such thing as an evil animal.
