The Most Dangerous Snakes in the World

the black mambas venom can kill a person in just 30 minute making it more venomous than a king cobra

100

the brown snake has enough venom to kill an adult in minutes not hrs and the brown snake is found in backyards ( mine yesterday ) they live close to humans so i must say i am surprised they listed under a snake that takes hrs to kill!

i thank the gold viper is touther the black mamba

I completely agree. I've read more than 1 site saying the Black Mamba is the deadliest snake. Glad they aren't n Tn, but we still have our dangers. It's 3:15am where I am n I'm sitting n the truck while my fiancé n his uncle wade the creek looking for top swimmers n bout 30 mins ago they picked up a rock n found a Copperhead!!!! Thank God they killed it with a rock before it could bite them:-)) I don't think I could go on without the man I love n I don't think he could go on without his fav uncle!!

these are the most dedlieyest snakes. ive been stutieing and every book syes it,s the black mamba and books are not rong.black mambas are the most intiresting snakes in the world.all the people who posted about cobras are rong

mamba`s are not aggressive, infact, they tend 2 run when you encounter 1 i looked it up

the late Steve Irwin said that he feared only 2 animals, the black mamba being one.

they can kill 2 fully grown male african elephants in 1 bite (not straight away of course) or is that the inland taipan i forget

they r the fastest aswell

black mambas are the most dangerous not because of how potent their venom is but because the are so fast and will readily strike and like i said before, they will not stop striking until the victim is dead.

these snakes are territorial and extremely aggressive. the venom yield is 100-400 mg of neurotoxic and cardiotoxic venom, 10-15 mg of these are fatal to humans. once bitten, the victim will be fully conscious but paralyzed completely and after 7-15 hours, will die of respiratory failure. These snakes are one of the few (the mambas) that will repeatedly strike the victim until it is dead. they are also tough, when we caught one on our game farm, it took my dad 4 shots to the snakes head and neck with a .270 lead composite bullet to kill it and after it was dead, we poked it with a wooden stake and it used the last of its life to bite the stake strong enough to make clear marks with its fangs. these snakes are also very fast, travelling as fast as a galloping horse. they usually get to 2.5 meters but can easily reach 4.5 meters. when these snakes make a home, they have to be killed.

Close competition between mamba and the russel viper.I guess latter is the most dangerous of em all.

This is one dangerous snake avoid em

For me, I suppose the Oxyuranus microlepidotus (fierce snake/inland taipan) is the most venomous snake

Sorry, but I believe you guys got it all wrong. The most deadly snake is the brown snake indigenous to Australia. Its venom is more deadly than a black mamba (which can kill its prey in 20 mins). However, the brown snake kills its prey in less than 15 mins.

you guys are all wrong. the most dangerous snake is the fierce trouser snake, when aroused will double in size and spit at anyone who takes it on..... be very afraid.

one, there is only two snakes that can be called poisonous, the most deadliest snake is the black mamba because it is the fastest and most adgressive snake. there is a difference between poison and venom. It is impossible to say which snake is the most deadly because new snakes are being discovered every day

In my opinion, king cobra has the most wonderful and most toxic poison(quality) but inland taipan has most poison(quantity)

It's a Black Mamba, if you had brains you would know thaat!

most dangerous snake in the world is sea snake person will alive only 2mini after a bite

The king cobra kills more people every year than any other snake. As far as most venemous, it doesn't make the top ten. I would say if it kills the most, then it is the most dangerous. The black mamba is the fastest snake, and it's venom's potency does crack the top ten. It is aggressive, and it will strike more than once. It kills the second most people every year. I think the top 2 are perfect, because those two snakes kill the most every year.

I Disagree with Everyone here, the worlds most DEADLIEST snake. is the Vietnam 2-Step. once your bitten, you can take 2 steps before you die immediately.

Well the inland taipan may be the worlds most poisonous snake but the king cobra has more venom then any other snake so king cobra shoud be number one.

I really disagree because the inland taipan is the most "poisonsnake" !! They sats it everywhere :-) Sorry for My broken english I fr.o.m. Sweden :-)

King cobra is the best of the best.It's venom is powerful enough to kill you in half an hour.

I agree the inland taipen is the worlds deadliest snake and very well be 1 of the of the worlds most deadliest animals cuz of its high toxins

I disagree, the Inland Taipan would have to be the most venomous, I went onto Animal Planet's website and found out the Inland Taipan is the most deadliest. Now, who would you believe more of? Some person that could be making a list based off their own opinions, or a Tv show that gives you real facts about an animal. Plus, Cobra's would be easy to identify, based off their size. But, if you were to be walking through a grassland, jungle, or desert. What snake would you have an easier time noticing, a Gaboon viper (which should be on the top 10) or a Cobra? You would have an easier time noticing the Cobra and would be able to get away, but with a Gaboon Viper, you would be dead before you know it. But the Cobra is definetly in the top 10, just not #1

Nop .The dangerous snake,venomous snake,toxic snake has to be russel viper.Each time I watch it on tv and image of the person bitten by it I get goosebums.Its bone chilling

The longest venoms snake! I love cobras they are very inquisitive and they always look like they are really thinking before they strike you have little chance of out smarting a cobra! In my opinion they are by far also the most intelligent snake!

Photo of the inland Taipen

inland taipan should be first because it has more venom than any other snake. One bite could kill 100 adult men Thank you so much.

Anyone who thinks that taipans are not aggressive because they dont bite people is wrong!! They're rarely encountered in the wild. They are extremely aggressive and extremely fatal, and are generally agreed tp be the most deadly and venomous snake.

This is for the venomous versus poisonous comment. Poison can be injested or absorbed through the skin. You can touch venom and even injest it. It won't kill unless the snake injects its venom into your body. So yes, snakes are venomous not poisonous.

This snake definitely has the most potent venom of all land snakes. Only the belchers sea snake has more powerfull venom. I believe it isn't number one because it doesn't cause the most death. They aren't as aggressive as a cobra or black mamba either.

Don't kid youself! The Inland Taipan also known as the Western Taipan, are large aggressive and very fast moving snakes. They grow to well over 2 meters. They are highly venomous and will attack without the slighest provacation. The only reason that very few human fatalities have occured, is because the inland of Australia is far less densely populated in comparision to the costal regions of Australia. While working at a stock camp in Western QueensIand, I witnessed a Western Taipan bite a full grown horse, and the horse was stone dead in 10 minutes!

although it rarely bites human, the inland taipen is a force to be reckond with coz of its high toxins and it may bite u thats if u have really bad luck ;) Leonard Ojumu England Essex

its not top cos it rarely bites humans right???

how aggresive is it?

This list is more of a science category than an other. I'm not trying to nag or anything I'm just saying.

He went nose to nose with the inland taipan, he threw the brown snake sraight in the bag because they are so aggressive.

this is not a dangerous snake because of its passivity; the late Steve Irvin laid on the ground and went nose to nose with this snake

Pretty sure the king brown is the longest venomous snake in Aus. The brown snake is more venomous though (2nd in the world).

an anaconda is not venomous but it can squeeze you to death and swallow you whole

Dangerous doesn't always constitute poisonous... Oh, excuse me. I mean venomous.

you have not seen a fully grown rock python, they eat crocodiles, buck, humans, leguaans and monkeys. they can go 2 and as half years with no food and have many huge fang-like teeth. they bite readily in defense and inflict painful ripping wounds.

Um dude I would just like to point out that there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Poison is different than venom which is what snakes carry. There are very distinct differences. Snakes are venomous NOT poisonous. Get it right next time. kthx.

WTF not even poisonous

This snake is very shy. It will make every effort to avoid human contact. It is not very aggressive. There is no rattlesnake anywhere that's venom carries close to the potency of the coral snake's venom. That is a completely uneducated comment.

coral snakes possess the most potent venom of any North American snake, followed closely by the Mojave rattlesnake. A coral snake must only administer 3–5 mg of venom to be fatal to the average adult human

very little is know about this snakes venome and no humans have been killed because of bites from A.I. infuscatus

doboia russelii is my faverate snake he is having the venome more powerfull than king cobra, puff adder.this snake really kills the 2nd most populated countreis 29% population but iam confused that why they threw him in so back possition.

This snake does not have the most potent venom. Not even among types of vipers. Belchers sea snake, inland taipan, and then the beaked sea snake. There is your top 3. The potency of the saw scaled viper's venom at least cracks the top 10.

they may have potent venom but how aggresive are they. 2 different things, a snake like a black mamba is dangerous for the reasons i mentioned earlier. but this one may have the most potent venom but not be fairly shy. the green mamba has fairly potent venom but will only strike when cornered and as a very last resort, so bites are uncommon so they are not considered too dangerous. a rock python has no venom but can crush and eat crocodiles and humans and have fang-like teeth in 2 rows big enough to cause serious and sometimes lethal bites with no venom

oh god y russel is on 24th.. he should be on 11th

I saw in discovery channel that russel viper is the most poisonous snake in the world, one bite could mean end of the story.Is it true? since here its ranked 24th to my surprise.

These can KILL u super fast!

This snake has the largest fangs of all at about 2-inches long! Ouch!

its the 3 most dangers snake

the gaboon viper is my favorite snake and I'm making a new kind of a gaboon in my drawings

and they have a fairly potent cytotoxic venom that is lethal to humans and the amount that they inject is enough

Wile they have very big bulky bodies they have one of the fastest strikes I have ever seen! They are truly an amazing snake!

The Australian Death Adder is a highly venomous, and very dangerous snake. It has a large, almost triangular head, a stout body, with a thin rat-like tail ending in a curved soft spine with the tail tip being either cream coloured or black. (Death Adders look not unlike American Rattle snakes - without the tail rattle to sound an alarm!) Death Adders are masters at camouflage and vary in coulour according to their surroundings. They are usually found with contrasting coloured cross-bands. Due to the Death Adders shape and colouration it may be easily mistaken as an Australian 'blue-tongued lizard' or any one of the larger ground dwelling skinks or lizards (and vice-versa). As an ambush type snake, during the day Death Adders can be found semi buried in sand, soil or leaves, often at the base of a tree. When disturbed a Death Adder will remain where they are and rely on its camouflage for protection, resorting to a very hard and lightening-fast strike when the threat becomes to great! Death Adders feed on reptiles, mammals and birds. It attracts its prey by using its thin tail as a lure. The average size of a Death Adder is 40cm with a maximum length of 1m.

the have the fast sriking and

puff adders are dangerous because people generally either step on them or think they are dead and pick them up when they are sleeping on the roads

these are nasty little snakes whose fangs fold when their mouths are closed. they have been diet includes rodents, birds, other snakes and even sometimes tortoises. very good camouflage coupled with the habit of sleeping on roads at night often results in them being killed. they have been known to fake death and when an unsuspecting person touches them, strikes. they have large fangs that inject the venom deep in the body. they inject 100-130 mg of venom, 100 mg is fatal to humans. death usually caused by complications from excessive swelling and fluid lose caused by cytotoxic venom. they grow to a max of 120 cm.

This is the most venomous viper. Its venom potency is in the top ten in the world.

According to some publications, the Saw-scaled Viper is said to be responsible for the most human fatalities. Other publications has it second to the Russell's Viper. "The Saw-scaled Viper is responsible for more human deaths in Asia that all the other venomous Asian snakes combined. Its highly haemotoxic venom is said to be 5 times more toxic than that of cobras and 16 more toxic than that of the Russell's Viper."

it can spit a lot of venom into your eyes. Ouuchhhh!!!!

boomslang is afrikaans for "tree snake". they are dangerous but shy. they have excellent vision which they use to pursue prey. they inject a 1 mg of haemotoxin that prevents blood from clotting much like rat poison, this makes the victim bleed to death. they have different colouration phases throughout their life and get to a max of 200 cm. not nearly as exciting as the black mamba, my dad only needed a shovel to hack one in half.

till now , research has shown that this is the snake that killed queen celopatra

It is called ld50. You are right about the belchers snake. The inland taipan is more venomous than the beaked sea snake. What snake is the most dangerous depends on a lot of factors besides venom.

No it is not. It is not poisonous. This would mean that its venom can be absorbed through the skin. As far as venomous, it is 3rd behind the inland taipan and belchers sea snake. That is if you judge by the amount of venom it takes to be lethal.LDA I believe it is called. The belchers sea snake is the most venomous but it is docile, and only produces venom every 4 bites. Look it up!!!

No. The Beaked sea snake IS the MOST DANGEROUS/VENOMOUS/POISONOUS snake in the world. LOOK IT UP!!!!!!!

This snakes kills more people in latin america than any other.

I got bitten by one and my foot turned blue and fat like a sausage!!!!!!! It hurt super bad!!!

i would like a pic tike the websight said it did

wester diomed rattesnake

why is rattle snake is in rank 20th? Is rattle snake not that so dangerous?

similar to the mozambique spitting cobra and rinkhals

YES IT IS THE MOST FIERCE SNAKE AND IT IS NOCTURNAL AND IT LOVES TO BE IN PEOPLES HOME RATHER THAN IN HOLES

the snake is very aggressive if you disturb it.

No it isn't.

its very dangerouse

This is not true. Yes they will strike if u give them reason to feel threatened but if u give them no reason you have nothing to worry about. I've had a few run ins with them they are pretty big bluffers.

very aggresive snake does not run would rather strike

no scientific name....

It has terrible teeth in its terrible jaws, And terrible feet with terrible claws!
