Inland Taipan

When it comes to the taipan genus, the Inland is an extremely venomous snake. In fact, many say that it THE most venomous snake in the world. Great. Just great. Unlike most snakes, the Inland is a specialist mammal hunter meaning that its venom is specially made to kill warm-blooded species. Just one bite could least kill at least 100 fully grown men and death will occur in 30 to 45 minutes if not treated. Now it tends to avoid human contact as it’s quite a shy snake but its venom is what lands it square on this list.

Black Necked Spitting Cobra

Must we have spitting cobras? Looks like it. Found in sub-Saharan Africa, this snake has a medically significant venom, however the mortality rate for untreated human bites is rather low. Its neurotoxic venom will irritate the skin and it may cause blindness if the venom comes into the eye, especially if the eye is not washed off.
