Types Of Snakes And How Poisonous They Are by Timekeeper: 5:48am On Mar 04, 2019
I want to create this thread Cox some of us don't know much about snakes. Some argue it's cobra, it's king cobra, it's black mamba, it's nija, and so on. Well, I took It upon myself to make some research as I fear snake so much and I hope it's goes into extinction very soon.. I hope for a world with no snake (whether poisonous or not).
I will start my list with the most dreadliest and poisonous snakes

1. The Beaked Sea Snake is one of the most venomous snakes either on landor in the sea. Indeed, scientists have estimated its venom to be 4 to 8 times more lethal than that of a cobra. ... Its venom is said to be as much as 100 times more lethal than that of any other snake - including the Inland Taipan-.

2. Dubious sea snakes


Scientific name: Aipysurus duboisii
Common name : Dubois' Seasnake
The Dubois' Seasnake is moderately built snake of variable colour. Darker specimens are usually found west of Torres Strait, and paler specimens to the east. Typically, the concealed surface of the scale contrasts with the dark brown exposed surface. This produces a reticulate (net-like) pattern in the body scales when the body is extended. The scales of the lower flanks are more typically white, forming wedge-shaped pale areas extending to the upper surface. All head shields with the exception of the rostral scale and the nasals are fragmented into small irregular scales. The body scales are imbricate and in 19 rows at the mid-body. Ventral scales are broad and vary from 150–165. The anal scale is divided. Subcaudal scales vary from 23–35. The Dubois' Seasnake grows to 109 cm in snout vent length

3. Inland taipan


The inland taipan is 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 – much more so than even sea snakes[11][12][13] – and it has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell culture . [14][15][16] Unlike most snakes, the inland taipan is a specialist mammal hunter so its venom is specially adapted to kill warm-blooded species . [17] It is estimated that one bite possesses enough lethality to kill at least 100 fully grown men, [18] and, depending on the nature of the bite, it has the potential to kill someone in as little as 30 to 45 minutes if left untreated. [19] It is an extremely fast and agile snake that can strike instantly with extreme accuracy, [20] often striking multiple times in the same attack, [21] and it envenoms in almost every case.
