What is the most poisonous sea snake?

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).


Which state has the largest number of poisonous reptile species?

Alaska has no snake species, in fact it has no reptile species at all. Hawaii has no native land dwelling reptile species, including snakes, but it has a well established, (likely) introduced snake species, the Island Blind Snake. There is also a sea snake. Hawaii also has several introduced lizard species. As far as snakes in the contiguous US, I would guess that Maine or another Northern New England state has the fewest species. Wyoming also has relatively few.


What does a venomous snakes eye look like?

you have to check its eyes. All venomous snakes have cat eyes. sort of oval in the center and greenish-yellowish in the outside. Depends. A rattlesnake's eye, for example has a vertical pupil while a cobra has a round pupil. They have adapted different eyes for different purposes (i.e. crepuscular, nocturnal, diurnal, etc.).


What are the most deadly snakes in the world?

When considering which snake is the deadliest in the world, you have to consider three factors:1. Potency of venom2. Agility3. AggressionYou 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.(see the related question)Candidates for Most VenomousThe 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).

When a venomous snake bites your hand or finger, it will swell up. Jewelry constricts the fingers, causing A LOT more pain than usual, and disfigures the appendage. If you don't know whether the snake is venomous, remove jewelry just to be safe.

How can you tell the difference between a poisonous snake and a not poisonous snake?

There are no poisonous snakes but there are venomous snakes. One needs to be familiar with the species of each area as there are no general rules concerning shapes of the head or eyes. Vipers usually have a triangular shaped head. However, in many areas of the world there are species of snakes without a triangular head that are highly venomous. When planning a trip into unfamiliar countries it is best to purchase a guide book to the local species.
