before i list the top 10(land snakes), the most toxic snake in the world is the

'Hydrophis Belcheri' from the name you can tell it is a sea snake due to the word 'hydro' although the most toxic snake on earth, it isnt atall aggressive.

Top 10 Toxic Land Snakes.

1. Taipan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus) also known as the 'fierce snake'
(there are sub-species but all are just as deadly) the survival time after being bit is no longer than 1 hour, although the venom can kill you in minutes.

2. Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus)
This is indias most deadly snake, it tends to seek shelter in sleeping bags ect.

3. Phillippine Cobra (Naja Naja Phillippinensis)


people under-estimate this snake due to its small size (1m) but it is by far one of the most deadliest snakes on earth.

4. King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah)
the king cobra is the worlds largest venomous snake reaching a maximum of 5.5metres. Although it tends not to bite humans, the biggest victim to the cobra is infact, its own breed. Hense 'Ophiophagus' meaning snake eater.

5. Russel's Viper (Vipera Russellii)
this snake is the biggest killer of humans out of all venomous snakes.

6. Black Mamba (Dendroaspis Polylepis)
people fear the black mamba due to its notorious aggression, it is also the fastest snake in the world, and it is said that if bitten by the snake you would have time for a quick drink before death. Also the most deadliest snake in africa.

7. Yellow-Jawed Tommygoff (Bothrops Asper) also known as 'Fer-de-lance'
It may strike with little provocation. And its Heat-seeking fangs help it strike accurately even in the dark

8. Multibanded-Krait (Bungarus Multicinctus)
Multibanded Kraits now rare in wild, are most preferred edible snakes in China. (weird i know)

9. Tiger Snake (Notechis Scutatus)
It has a Potent venom that attacks the nervous system. When aroused, it is aggressive and attacks any intruder

10. Jarararcussu (Bothrops Jarararcussu)
