You both are right, and his statement does not contradict yours, he said, his snake produces the most venom of all snakes, while your snake produces the most poisonous, kapish?

Ok, thank for the clarification.. Kapish

This is a Gaboon Viper, the heaviest member of the viperids, and also the snake with the longest fangs (2 inches long) and the highest venom yield in the world. That is, this snake delivers the highest volume of venom per bite of any snake in the world.

The snake is easy to recognise by the two small horns near its snout and by its unique markings/patterns (white dashed lines running along its back, similar to highway/street road lines) and unusually swollen "cheeks" on both sides of its head. Those "cheeks" are actually the extra-large salivary glands that produce the high amounts of venom the gaboon viper is known for. Really a mouthful.

A short but very heavy (dense) snake with a bad temper, you don't need to upset this snake before it strikes you. It attacks you with little provocation once you step within striking range. I've seen one before. Pure evil.

As for the severed head in the photos the OP originally posted above, I think I know exactly why they cut it off. Some people use freshly killed snake head AND tail for certain charms. Seriously. Ask around and you'll know. It appears to me from the photos that the snake is also missing a tiny bit of its tail, although it's not bleeding much.

So the next time you see someone rushing to decapitate a snake and also cut off its tail, you know what they PROBABLY have in mind.

Used to see the scrawny newly hatched babies whilst in secondary school.

It's a Gaboon viper. Easy to identify with intricate triangular patterns, large head, fat mid section. Very venomous.
my natgeo brother.. how far. I like it when some nigerians can identify a snake.. this viper is very slow and very poisonous (neuro toxics)

Often seeing this on TV (World's Deadliest, Nat Geo Wild), I could never have imagined how close it was to me. Terrific!

Dear, modify your "which" in reference to your friend.
Where is the snake photo? Let it better be as big as you wrote it.

All these baby snakes are on loose cannon, killed everywhere and everyday. What happened to "children listen to your parents and stay in one place" but adventures no go gree them.

I disagree. If it's an adder, you might as well want to consider the size of the head in relation to the severed part.

Scientists could make mistakes, but the Inland Taipan is considered the most venomous snake in the world, based on the median lethal dose value in mice, its venom, drop for drop, is by far the most toxic of any snake and it has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell culture. Unlike most snakes, the Inland Taipan is a specialist mammal hunter so its venom is specially adapted to kill warm blooded species.

You are probably confusing my submission here. I NEVER SAID that the Gaboon Viper produces the most lethal/deadly venom of all snakes. I said that, of all snakes, the gaboon viper produces the highest VOLUME of venom in a single bite.

Actually the venom of the Gaboon Viper is NOT among the deadliest in the world, but it more than compensates for this by injecting it's prey with a FLOOD of venom (cytotoxins) when it strikes, and then holds on to the prey (with its huge fangs) until it succumbs. And that does the trick. Food is ready.

The Inland Taipan, on the other hand, delivers a much smaller volume of venom per bite than the gaboon viper, but that small amount of venom is extremely lethal (drop for drop).

So...

(1) Gaboon Viper = Highest quantity of venom.

(2) Inland Taipan = Most potent/lethal venom.


Quantity vs. Quality?
