ogbiwa: Your title and the source you quoted are not actually the same , while your source , The Britannica , says "9 of the world's deadliest snakes" yours says "the world's top 9 deadliest snakes". Then again the title of the "deadliest" snake isn't so easy to decide as a lot things come into play , do you mean the snake with the most potent venom , aggressiveness of the snake , fast action of the venom or the most likely to attack for a snake. While some snakes have a highly potent venom they may be timid and may not even bite when provoked , examples are the inland taipan ( with the highest potentcy of venom ) and the belcher sea snake which won't even bite you if you handle it. Some have very fast acting venom like the black mamba who's venom can kill in as little as 15 minutes or less ( depending on where you are bitten ) , for some even with antivenin survival rate is 50/50. Some snakes also give dry bites with some snakes giving 75% dry bite ( only 1 out of 4 bites contain venom ) and some reducing the venom load , only the black mamba gives 100% venomous bites ( no dry bites ) and mortality rate is 100% without antivenin ( you will surely die without antivenin ). In my estimation though I'd rate the black mamba as the deadliest snake on earth but there's a saying that the deadliest snake in the world is the one currently attacking you. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nuelito: The venom bank is located on the back of the snake's head in the salivary glands. Salivary glands are the parts of the head where saliva is made... That's why they cut of snake head when killed....other part of the body is fresh meat 1 Like |

And someone somewhere will say don't kill a snake that they are beautiful creature. Mehn kill this thing, they are potential threat and dangerous. Nothing beautiful about them |

Number1benue:So what's the difference between venom and poison?. |
Re: The World's Top 9 Deadliest Snakes (Photos) by Semaj77(m): 6:21pm On Jul 27, 2021 |
Obipaul77: If it bites you and you die it's venom , if you bite it and you die then it's poison |

Emmexguy123: Snakes are actually more useful than rats , rats have been known to carry disease causing pathogens which kill man ( Lassa fever , bubonic plague , ebola ) to name a few , snakes on the other hand don't carry such pathogens to man. Snakes also help in keeping the pest population down , pest which damage crop |

TheWolfen: Very wrong. Even the pythons and boa can be harmful ( through mercury poisoning ) and eating a venomous snake isn't dangerous or harmful. |

showafrica: The venom is produced in the Jacobson's gland in the head , no venom is produced in the body |

musty2245: While the black mamba is the fastest snake and can bite repeatedly in a single strike the death adder is the fastest striking snake , it can go from striking position to striking to envenomation and back to striking position in less than 0.15 seconds
