There is no an exact answer for such controversial topic as a lot of variations exist.LD50 does't take the snake temperament,fangs effectiveness,venom yield,venom effects on humans,etc into account.Generally,king cobra,black mamba,carpet viper,coastal taipan,eastern brown,lancehead,several Najas etc are regarded as highly dangerous when encounter due to several factors.K.cobra and b.mamba cause a rapid death and high mortality rate.Russell's and carpet cause the most deaths.
For the number of snakebite cases caused: the Big Four snakes (both in Asia and the world), the puff adder (in Africa), the eastern diamondback (in North America), the terciopelo (in South Am.), the eastern brown (in Australia) etc....
So much about your video is wrong. Get your facts straight. Russels Viper is not the top land snake on the LD50, it IS the inland Taipan, that is a fact. You are simply wrong. Look it up you morons. Also the photos you have of the "Inland Taipan" and the Eastern Brown Snake are both Coastal Taipans. You should really check your photos if you are trying to provide an educational video. Maybe leave education to people who have studied Reptiles.
@yobro250 YOU DEAD SHIT. HE SAYS ACCORDING TO OUR MOUSE TEST!!!! idiots. if he had said "we think these are the top 5 most deadly to humans" then yeah. Valid point. BUT HE SAYS!!!! According to the mouse test. SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT!!! The mouse test is the LD50. and that list is Factually incorrect. Still stand by the fact that both your Inland Taipan and Eastern Brown pics are incorrect too. Any reply on that? Guess not. You complete deadshit.
@fauce Their is ZERO proof that the inland taipan is the most venomous snake to humans... It is the most venomous drop for drop to MICE( which it exclusively preys on) but no proof this correlates to humans.
The most dangerous snake in the world is the George W. Bushmaster. It killed more than 100,000 people in Iraq over the past 8 years. Knocked off a few in Afghanistan too.
@bazzamataz72 No it isnt a scientific fact dummy... The inland taipan is the most drop for drop venomous to MICE... Thats it.....Absolutely zero proof it is the most venomous snake to anything other than a mouse
The most aggressive with a combo of neuro and hemo would be the deadliest. The aggressive snake wants to kill and wants to attack you. The black mamba would be the deadliest because it wants to attack it is a predator. Also there is no antivenom so once bitten say goodbye.
@piratz22 there is a polyvalent antivenom produced by SAIMR to treat all black mamba bites. Recent research shows that about one-third of the victims that bitten by black mambas died finally.
No, there is a polyvalent antivenom to treat black mamba bite cases from different locations and deaths are becoming rare nowadays. According to medical details, nowadays, about one-thirds of the victims who were bitten by black mambas died (i.e. the mortality rate is about 33%). Previously, the mortality rate from black mamba bites can be over 80% as the anti-venom was not wide-avail.
I would have to go with the infamous Black Mamba as the worlds deadliest. Because it has the total package. Extremely toxic venom, lightning speed and orneriness. Of all the venomous snakes in the word it is the one I would least want to be locked in a room with.
@tpp969 Fail... Australia has the top 3( number 4 and 5 are Asian snakes) and 6 out of the top 10... And thats to MICE... Australian snakes are overrated and they would be lucky to have 1-3 of the top 10 to humans.
@tpp969 Sometimes the truth hurts doesn't it? Everything I said was true...If you look at the ld50 for mice australia has the top 3 ( number 4 and 5 are Asian) and then 6 out of top 10...For humans Australia would be lucky to have 1 or 2

@Willowsrd Wrong idiot... The inland Taipan is the most toxic drop for drop tp MICE... Their is ZERO proof it is the most venomous to humans or any other animals but a mouse.
@Willowsrd Yes to MICE!!! Are humans mice?? No and its absurd to think that the most venomous to mice means anything for humans or any other animal for that matter...
dont know how many of you have ever encounted a inland taipan, but they are agressive snakes, although not as agressive as the black mumba, they are still one of the more agressive venomous snakes in aust. the scrub python is also well known for its readiness to bite. There has been many cases on inland taipan (fear snake) but all were in an area where anti venom was readily available. however many pets are killed each year durring summer, when these taipans seek settler indoors, under cars,ect
According to Wikipedia the Inland Taipan has the deadliest venom. But there has been no reports on it killing anyone because it is not aggressive like the black mamba or the king cobra. So the Inland Taipan is the most venomous but not the deadliest. I believe the deadliest would be the Black Mamba. It is so aggressive.
The taipan has the worlds 3rd most deadliest venom. The sea snake hydrophis belcheri has the most lethal one followed by another sea snake. None of these 3 snakes have an aggressive nature.
It should also include the death time and the mortality rate.
For the death time, it is probably the king cobra as it caused the fastest death time for human. For mortality rate, it is probably the black mamba...
About the temperament, I agree that the black mamba, king cobra, saw-scaled viper...have a bad temperament. But mostly, we forget about some non-venomous snakes. They may not as dangerous as the venomous one, but they can also be quite fierce. Moreover, we should notice that
I thought the inland taipan has the most lethal venom since one bite is enough venom to kill over 100 grown men. But I thought the black mamba was the most dangerous since they are the most agressive.
and one more thing I know that all you know about India is "Snake Charmers"

I've seen a more recent version of this film and they had replaced the coral snake footage with one from central america. This film is a pretty good spoof on the discovery channel's "most deadly" nonsense.
If you look closely at when they give examples of different types of venom, you can see that the " coral snake" is not a coral snake, but a scarlet kingsnake.....its a mimic....wht a dumb vid....
I think the reason we can't find the world's deadliest snake is because it is too general. If we said the world's deadliest snake to a particular species like humans, it would probably be much easier to find out.
poison wise on land it's the inland taipan, however most poisonous snake of all is a sea snake, cant remember the name, if you go by deadlyness it's all about whether you mean people killed/bitten every year in that case it's about what dangerous snake lives near most people and what methods they have of surviving bites etc.
@Nunez87 The inland taipan is the most venomous snake to MICE...Their is absolutely zero proof that it is the most venomous to humans or any other animal that isnt a mouse
Why try and determine which one is the most dangerous. The most dangerous snake in the world is the one that just bit you. There are so many different variables and exceptions that it is impossible to determine which snake is the most dangerous. I say, lets just leave it to rest.
The King Cobra is the worst because it has larger fangs, injects more venom than the Inland Taipan, and kills faster. One bite from a King Cobra takes affect in 2 minutes, and kills in 10 minutes on a human. One bite is even strong enough to kill a fully grown male bull Asian Elephant in 2 and 1/2 hours.
another death near where i live (Perth)was of a 15 year old boy taking photos out bush of wildlife where he was bitten by a Tiger snake. He had first aid training in snake bites as his dad was a snake catcher but it wasn't enough and he died at the scene.
Inland taipan has the most toxic venom but because of Australias' small population and the fact that the snake lives in the middle of the desert no one really ever comes in to contact with it. Only one week ago in qld a 15 year old got bitten on the foot while jumping into a swimming hole by a coastal taipan and by the time he surfaced on the water a few seconds later he was apparently already vomiting up blood so the venom acts extremely quickly.
are they trying to determine which is the most deadliest snake to mice or to humans? why do we care how many mice a certain venom can kill within 24 hours? i don't think it really matters to a mouse which is the most deadly, any venom will kill them. bottom line, if you get bit by a cobra, russell's viper, black mamba, rattlesnake...etc. and you are far away from any medical care, kiss your ass goodbye!!
Id say mamba is the most dangerous! Its not the most venomous but its venom works quicker than any other snake
If 1 drop of snake venom can kill 20 people but takes 2 days to kill a man -its not very dangerous then is it ? -because it gives you plenty time to get to hospital
Mambas are horrible, they territorial, dont mind coming into the house -They fast, unpredictable & dont give warning bites when they angry like other snakes do
& an adult is big enough to look you straigt in the eye
theres a differance poisoness means that it has to be obsorbed like a cut in your hand touches the skin of a deadly dart frog venom means that it has to be injected like a snake biteing you.
Well,I did see a program on National geographic channel which evaluated the deadliest snake on five aspects- size,volume of venom,toxicity,personality as well as number of human deaths...plus I saw the program ' Seven Deadly strikes' where snakes were evaluated on speed,venom and strike...so I add speed and strike to the existing five to make it seven...so the Black Mamba wins on these counts
It's not about the venom.. it can be deadly by simply attacking alot, most people say that alot of africas, or indas snakes are the deadliest, because they are very aggressive, but all facts aside.. the taipan has the most deadliest vemon, yet hasn't killed many people.
If the Inland Taipan was located in Afria and India, then it would probably kill far more it does in Australia. Yes, it's not the most aggressive snake, but it's in the middle of no where in Australia. The venom from this snake can potentialy kill 100 humans in one bite! Also, size has barely any impact on deadliness.
i done my reaserch and came up with the resault that the inland taipan is the most venoums snake on land i also found out australia has 18 of the top 22 most venoums snakes
Correct. For example Inland Taipans and sea snakes are very venomous but doesn't kill much people. Therefore they're not the most deadliest, but two of the most venomous.
the inland taipan has the most toxic and potent venom of all snakes. But is it considered dangerous? NO. Because it lives in isolation,away from humans. Thus rendering it LESS DANGEROUS. thanks a lot men.
i'd have to say that the russels viper is the deadliest. it is the has the second most potent venom, its quick and v. aggressive. and, unlike the inland taipan, it can reside in well populated areas.
Here's my determinant of "most deadly.' If I was forced to handle a wild caught snake, a black mamba would narrowly edge out the common taipan due to a combination of their speed, accurate strike, long fangs, large venom yield, and limberness.
all things equal its the sea kraite or inland taipan. when factoring aggression it has to be the black mamba or cobra. the russell's viper is nasty as well.
when i lived in south africa, my mom ran over a black mamba and had to spin her tires on it to finally kill it...black mambas are the most dangerous snake in the world cuz htey are so aggressive
Their aggression is greatly exaggerated. Look up "viperkeeper" on youtube, he lets his come right up to his face to investigate, and they let him squirt water into their mouths, even a wild caught specimen. Please don't contribute to such silly myths.
Inland taipans hang around dry areas, if I'm not mistaken, and those are the ones in question.
They have the most potent venom, but the intriguing thing about them is how reclusive they are with humans. They're probably smart enough to think "I can't eat a DUDE, so I'm not using my venom on him".
incorrect costal taipans r everywhere anywhere with trees basicly inland or fear snakes r the middle off Australia and guess wat only a couple hundred ppl live out there so death rates from them r small. there is theroy amoung snake experts that if the inland typan was infact a coast snake that Australia's human population would drop drammaticly because of ppl that get attacked by such an aggressive animal.
The most potent is the inland taipan, but i think the king cobra is easily the most intimidating. ive heard they can use there muscles to lift its whole upper body up to look a human dead straight in the eye..
i dunno bout the deadliest but the most venomous land snake is not the russels viper, its the inland taipan. 110mg of inland taipans venom can kill 250,000 mice.
(100human adults) they got the most vemoumous sea and correct.also the most venomous in the world
,,,i still think king cobra freaks me out the most....the fucking things massive....it often pumps loads of venom into a victims groin........im really "not into" the idea of that.
If you want to see some of these snakes, look up the videos from VIPERKEEPER here at youtube. He has quite a bit of detailed information on each venomous snake he owns (over 100)
As Al says, the most deadly snake in the world is the one that just bit you. Treat them respect, stay safe, and enjoy the mystical beauty of these animals.
they forgot the black mamba, if you run away, well the black mamba can chase you ( 30km/h)they can kill you in 15 min. he can bite with a huge amount of venom if he is really piss off.
yeah i ave to handle snakes daily as i work ina zoo (same as you)i found that black mamba is more dealdy than C taipan as it's very aggresive and hostile but inland taipan is the most venomous
costal tipan is number 3 and commen brown is 2 inland 1 cotalas are the most dangrous beacues the grow up to 9 feet and very aggrsive till the 6 feet mark
Learn to spell the fucking name and people might actually believe you have the intelligence to keep any species of vemonmous snake. It's T-A-I-P-A-N you knob. Every snake vid on here has you claiming that you keep every sort of snake and you have misspelled taipan on every single occasion.
No I dont keep elapids. I never claimed to. But I CAN spell their names. One would think that you might have had to do some research/study or gain qualification before being able to keep these hot snakes. That might have actually involved learning to spell the name correctly. At least if you're going to misspell it, make it the same each time.
And its always the "this snake is the deadliest" crowd that seem to show the least respect for them.
Happy for you to post some vids this week buddy. I'll cop it sweet (although will still be shaking my head in disbelief) if you do. I want you to hold up a sign with my name on it too.
African black Mamba is the most diedliest snake to humans, Not the most toxic thou but here´s the list why!. Nr 1 in the world for, Striking distance +/-2 to 3m away and 2m in hight, fastest moving(60Kmh over short distance), fastest striking(faster than the blinking of your eyelids), most venom injecting per bite, most repeditive striking and most aggresive snake in the world. That alone makes it nr 1. Not to mention that it kills the most people every year.
The king cobra has the most venom but not very toxic, number 21 on the most potent venom, ut the inland taipan has the most drop for drop potent venom, but 1/4 amount of vemon U should deside
it's not, the fierce snake is. at least that is what i have heard from about 4 sources. I will say something though. the diamondback rattlesnake is far from the most deadly snake, but people who are bitten by them probablly suffer the most due to how their venom works. if you get bit in the leg by a diamondback, odds are, your leg will never be the same again.
Hard to say actually, there are a number of factors, most of which are impossible to measure in a real envenomation, to include when saying what the most venomous snake is. So saying it's definitely the taipan is slightly inaccurate.
wtf is this? they totally mixed things up, the worlds deadliest snake is not the same as the worlds most dangerous snake. deadliest snake refers to the potency of the venom, dangerous refers to the amount of human deaths can occur from the snake. the most tovix land snake is the inland taipan, and the eadliest snake in the world is a sea snake, i forget which species tho
You guys have obviously not seen a king cobra - I've seen one in the wild - must have been atleast 15 feet in length. That thing could stand up and kiss you. The amount of venom that goes into a king cobra bite is more than any other snake in the world.
What that phoney indian guy holds in the video is nowehere close to a what a real king cobra looks like. In any case most snake charmers have ordinary cobras, which are about 5 feet and are different genus from king cobras.
Bhidu, the Inland Taipan is the most poisonous snake in the world. The deadliest is the King Cobra, only because you do not have high levels of anti venom in stock unlike a OZ. Also because the location of the Inland Taipan is not in a high population zones (hence Inland), unlike the Indians who breed like rabbits. Kings can also grow upto 18feet.
AaronCraze, I WASN'T saying that the King Cobra is THE deadliest snake. I was merely saying that the "King Cobra" represented in the video was not even close to a what a real King Cobra looks like.
As for the "deadliest" /"dangerous" snake - I guess it all depends on what factors are considered and which factors carry more weight.
Humans are the deadliest of them all because we kill animals out of greed, sport and or just because we don't like them.

However, no person has ever been killed by by fierce snake.
Coastal taipan is extremely agressive and has a deadly strike and rarely misses. Brown snake lives amongst people and has killed many australians.

I think the reason we can't find the world's deadliest snake is because it is too general. If we said the world's deadliest snake to a particular species like humans, it would probably be much easier to find out.
DarkSword512 3 years ago
poison wise on land it's the inland taipan, however most poisonous snake of all is a sea snake, cant remember the name, if you go by deadlyness it's all about whether you mean people killed/bitten every year in that case it's about what dangerous snake lives near most people and what methods they have of surviving bites etc.

@Nunez87 The inland taipan is the most venomous snake to MICE...Their is absolutely zero proof that it is the most venomous to humans or any other animal that isnt a mouse

Why try and determine which one is the most dangerous. The most dangerous snake in the world is the one that just bit you. There are so many different variables and exceptions that it is impossible to determine which snake is the most dangerous. I say, lets just leave it to rest.
reptilewranglers 3 years ago
The King Cobra is the worst because it has larger fangs, injects more venom than the Inland Taipan, and kills faster. One bite from a King Cobra takes affect in 2 minutes, and kills in 10 minutes on a human. One bite is even strong enough to kill a fully grown male bull Asian Elephant in 2 and 1/2 hours.

another death near where i live (Perth)was of a 15 year old boy taking photos out bush of wildlife where he was bitten by a Tiger snake. He had first aid training in snake bites as his dad was a snake catcher but it wasn't enough and he died at the scene.
ozzez8282 3 years ago
Inland taipan has the most toxic venom but because of Australias' small population and the fact that the snake lives in the middle of the desert no one really ever comes in to contact with it. Only one week ago in qld a 15 year old got bitten on the foot while jumping into a swimming hole by a coastal taipan and by the time he surfaced on the water a few seconds later he was apparently already vomiting up blood so the venom acts extremely quickly.
ozzez8282 3 years ago
are they trying to determine which is the most deadliest snake to mice or to humans? why do we care how many mice a certain venom can kill within 24 hours? i don't think it really matters to a mouse which is the most deadly, any venom will kill them. bottom line, if you get bit by a cobra, russell's viper, black mamba, rattlesnake...etc. and you are far away from any medical care, kiss your ass goodbye!!

Id say mamba is the most dangerous! Its not the most venomous but its venom works quicker than any other snake
If 1 drop of snake venom can kill 20 people but takes 2 days to kill a man -its not very dangerous then is it ? -because it gives you plenty time to get to hospital
Mambas are horrible, they territorial, dont mind coming into the house -They fast, unpredictable & dont give warning bites when they angry like other snakes do
& an adult is big enough to look you straigt in the eye
BiltongBaz 3 years ago
They got the most forward fangs so rarely mis-bite. They inject alot of neurotoxic venom & the anti-venom for it isnt very effective
If 1 bites you the best thing you can do is pull a piece of wire around your arm -you`ll loose it but you`ll be alive
By the way mushrooms are poisonous! Snakes are venomous!
I lived in an area where they were a problem -they always come sniffing around the dogs looking for trouble & 1 killed our dog right next to us
Other snakes seem to be more shy
BiltongBaz 3 years ago
& I think size has alot to do with it. Im alot more worried about a 4 metre mamba standing as tall as I am,
not afraid of me & capable of moving at 20 km/h than a 1 metre long snake trying to bite my boot out of fear
Anyway puff-adders kill more people in Africa than any other snake. Because they dont move out of the way till your step on it.

black mamba is the worst.
Freakyjeeplover 3 years ago
Well,I did see a program on National geographic channel which evaluated the deadliest snake on five aspects- size,volume of venom,toxicity,personality as well as number of human deaths...plus I saw the program ' Seven Deadly strikes' where snakes were evaluated on speed,venom and strike...so I add speed and strike to the existing five to make it seven...so the Black Mamba wins on these counts
1.Size-4/5
2.Volume of Venom-3/5
3.Toxicity-5/5
4.Personality-5/5
5.Deaths-4/5
6.Speed-5/5
7.Strike-5/5
BlackMamba1511 3 years ago
It's not about the venom.. it can be deadly by simply attacking alot, most people say that alot of africas, or indas snakes are the deadliest, because they are very aggressive, but all facts aside.. the taipan has the most deadliest vemon, yet hasn't killed many people.
ShaynBilly 3 years ago
If the Inland Taipan was located in Afria and India, then it would probably kill far more it does in Australia. Yes, it's not the most aggressive snake, but it's in the middle of no where in Australia. The venom from this snake can potentialy kill 100 humans in one bite! Also, size has barely any impact on deadliness.

Correct. For example Inland Taipans and sea snakes are very venomous but doesn't kill much people. Therefore they're not the most deadliest, but two of the most venomous.

the inland taipan has the most toxic and potent venom of all snakes. But is it considered dangerous? NO. Because it lives in isolation,away from humans. Thus rendering it LESS DANGEROUS. thanks a lot men.
d3r0n 3 years ago
i'd have to say that the russels viper is the deadliest. it is the has the second most potent venom, its quick and v. aggressive. and, unlike the inland taipan, it can reside in well populated areas.
crewzeruis 3 years ago
Here's my determinant of "most deadly.' If I was forced to handle a wild caught snake, a black mamba would narrowly edge out the common taipan due to a combination of their speed, accurate strike, long fangs, large venom yield, and limberness.
chiconspiricy 3 years ago
all things equal its the sea kraite or inland taipan. when factoring aggression it has to be the black mamba or cobra. the russell's viper is nasty as well.

I thought only coastal taipans hung around water.
Inland taipans hang around dry areas, if I'm not mistaken, and those are the ones in question.
They have the most potent venom, but the intriguing thing about them is how reclusive they are with humans. They're probably smart enough to think "I can't eat a DUDE, so I'm not using my venom on him".
0rcryst 3 years ago
incorrect costal taipans r everywhere anywhere with trees basicly inland or fear snakes r the middle off Australia and guess wat only a couple hundred ppl live out there so death rates from them r small. there is theroy amoung snake experts that if the inland typan was infact a coast snake that Australia's human population would drop drammaticly because of ppl that get attacked by such an aggressive animal.
chunkeyhotdog144 3 years ago
chunkeyhotdog144 - I was saying, the only taipans that hang around water are coastal, not that coastals only hang around water.
Also, I've heard again and again that the inland taipan is in fact not very aggressive and would most often choose to flee than to attack a human.

Learn to spell the fucking name and people might actually believe you have the intelligence to keep any species of vemonmous snake. It's T-A-I-P-A-N you knob. Every snake vid on here has you claiming that you keep every sort of snake and you have misspelled taipan on every single occasion.

No I dont keep elapids. I never claimed to. But I CAN spell their names. One would think that you might have had to do some research/study or gain qualification before being able to keep these hot snakes. That might have actually involved learning to spell the name correctly. At least if you're going to misspell it, make it the same each time.

African black Mamba is the most diedliest snake to humans, Not the most toxic thou but here´s the list why!. Nr 1 in the world for, Striking distance +/-2 to 3m away and 2m in hight, fastest moving(60Kmh over short distance), fastest striking(faster than the blinking of your eyelids), most venom injecting per bite, most repeditive striking and most aggresive snake in the world. That alone makes it nr 1. Not to mention that it kills the most people every year.

it's not, the fierce snake is. at least that is what i have heard from about 4 sources. I will say something though. the diamondback rattlesnake is far from the most deadly snake, but people who are bitten by them probablly suffer the most due to how their venom works. if you get bit in the leg by a diamondback, odds are, your leg will never be the same again.

Hard to say actually, there are a number of factors, most of which are impossible to measure in a real envenomation, to include when saying what the most venomous snake is. So saying it's definitely the taipan is slightly inaccurate.

You guys have obviously not seen a king cobra - I've seen one in the wild - must have been atleast 15 feet in length. That thing could stand up and kiss you. The amount of venom that goes into a king cobra bite is more than any other snake in the world.
What that phoney indian guy holds in the video is nowehere close to a what a real king cobra looks like. In any case most snake charmers have ordinary cobras, which are about 5 feet and are different genus from king cobras.
bhidu123 5 years ago
Bhidu it was a joke.
Lodestone1968 5 years ago
Bhidu, the Inland Taipan is the most poisonous snake in the world. The deadliest is the King Cobra, only because you do not have high levels of anti venom in stock unlike a OZ. Also because the location of the Inland Taipan is not in a high population zones (hence Inland), unlike the Indians who breed like rabbits. Kings can also grow upto 18feet.
AaronCraze 5 years ago
AaronCraze, I WASN'T saying that the King Cobra is THE deadliest snake. I was merely saying that the "King Cobra" represented in the video was not even close to a what a real King Cobra looks like.
As for the "deadliest" /"dangerous" snake - I guess it all depends on what factors are considered and which factors carry more weight.
bhidu123 5 years ago
"unlike the Indians who breed like rabbits" - I am tempted to respond with equally uncharitable comments about Australians - except that:
a) I am not sure you are Australian
b) Australians that I've met were really nice people (you would be the first exception).
